Speech Therapy
I am passionate about speech therapy and helping children build on their strengths to overcome their challenges. Learning should be fun, relevant and accessible. In working closely with families, I aim to cultivate language learning practices to support integration of new skills into their daily life.
I offer assessment and treatment for preschoolers and school-aged children in the following areas:
Articulation difficulties
Phonological challenges
Motor speech disorders
Language delay or disorder
Social language skills
Speech Therapy for Children
Does your child struggle to use words, produce clear speech, follow instructions in the classroom, share their ideas or have challenges with the social aspects of language? If so, they would benefit from speech and language therapy.
FAQ
What is a Speech and Language Pathologist?
A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Speech Therapist are synonymous terms. An SLP is a certified professional who will help identify, evaluate, educate, counsel and treat communication disorders in children and adults.
Is there funding available for your services?
Depending on your income level, some funding may be available through CKNW, the Variety Children’s Charity, or the President’s Choice Children’s Charity. Also, most extended healthcare plans cover services from a registered SLP. It is best to check your personal plan and find out the maximum dollar amount covered, as well as any documentation required.
Do I need a Doctor’s referral to schedule an appointment?
No. Children and adults are most often referred either by a family member, teacher, or another SLP. A doctor’s referral is not necessary in order to obtain services, however, many extended healthcare plans do require a written referral from your doctor. If you plan to make a claim for your private SLP expenses, it is a good idea to check with your personal plan to confirm their specific requirements.
