Speech
Pathology

As speech pathologists, we help people to be understood and to understand others, to express themselves, to connect with others and to develop their reading and writing skills. We also help people who stutter and people who use alternate methods to communicate.

Individual
Therapy

Treatment sessions with our clients can work on the following areas (and more!)

  • Expressing ourselves in spoken and written language

  • Understanding other’s speech and language

  • Articulation (how we make and combine sounds to make speech)

  • Stuttering (how fluently we can express ourselves)

  • Social skills and problem-solving skills

  • Literacy (reading, writing, spelling)

Some of the programs our Speech Pathologists are trained to deliver include Hanen, Sounds-Write phonics approach, Talk-For-Writing, Secret Agent Society, Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, Key Word Sign, Social Thinking.

Group therapies are an excellent approach to learn and consolidate children’s skills in a fun, supportive space. We run a variety of neuro-affirmative social skills, language and literacy groups.​

​

During the school holidays, we also provide something a little different, which can be beneficial for clients and families looking for a change of pace.
