Services Offered
We provide assessment, intervention, and client/family education for communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan, from early childhood to adulthood.
Services for Children
Services geared towards children ages 0 to 18.
-
Age appropriate sounds will be targeted and positive reinforcement given through play-based therapeutic activities that can be carried into "real life."
-
Improving overall communication both verbally and non-verbally makes it possible for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to improve their relationships with others and communicate their needs for daily life. We will work with families to promote language development through play and social interaction such as allowing "space" for your child to respond.
-
Providing early intervention to children 5 years and under gives a head start for the best possible communication skills. We emphasize the pivotal role of the parents, the importance of starting early, and the power of "everyday."
-
An expressive language disorder can make it difficult for your child to express their thoughts and feelings using single words or words together in sentences. We can help your child to increase their vocabulary and create sentences to express their daily needs.
A receptive language disorder makes it difficult for your child to understand what others are saying. We can help your child follow directions and improve their understanding of questions and conversation. -
Children with feeding and swallowing disorders may have difficulty chewing, swallowing safely, accepting a variety of foods and textures, or developing age-appropriate feeding skills. These challenges can include oropharyngeal dysphagia, feeding aversions, oral-motor difficulties, and sensory-based texture sensitivities that affect nutrition, growth, and family mealtimes. We provide family-centred assessment and individualized therapy to support safe eating and drinking, build feeding skills, and help children develop positive, confident mealtime experiences.
-
Individuals with social communication disorders may have difficulty using language in social contexts such as greetings, sharing information, understanding humor or sarcasm, and telling stories. Those with Autism Spectrum Disorder or acquired brain injuries may have strong language skills but still struggle with effective interaction. We provide practical strategies to strengthen social understanding and support clearer, more confident communication in everyday situations.

Services for Adults
Services geared towards adults, ages 19 and above.
-
Acquired brain injury, such as stroke or brain tumor, may cause expressive and/or receptive language deficits affecting speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. These impairments can significantly impact functional communication in daily living. Speech language therapy provides assessment and intervention to support communication for daily needs, strengthen comprehension, and improve participation in functional tasks such as following directions and engaging in conversation.
-
Following an acquired brain injury, adults may have difficulty consistently producing sounds or words to fluently communicate their needs. We can provide strategies and therapeutic intervention to improve meaningful speech.
-
A cognitive communication disorder is a problem with communication that has an underlying cause related to a cognitive deficit rather than a speech or language deficit. After an acquired brain injury, individuals may experience difficulties with paying attention to a conversation, staying on topic, remembering information, responding accurately, or following directions. We can provide strategies and therapy to help when communication is affected by cognition.
-
Concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries can have devastating implications for those returning to school, work, and social activities and it is common for people to have persistent deficits after 3 months. We can help with higher level language issues as a result of mild traumatic brain injury. As well, we can provide individualized strategies, feedback, support and therapy for challenges such as reading and retaining, classroom/workplace participation, studying and test writing, understanding, and processing of complex verbal information.
-
Reduced ability to understand one's speech may result after an acquired brain injury such as a stroke. Slurred or mumbled speech significantly affects one's ability to communicate their daily needs. We can provide support through therapy and implementing strategies to improve daily living.
-
Individuals with social communication disorders may have difficulty using language in social contexts such as greetings, sharing information, understanding humor or sarcasm, and telling stories. Those with Autism Spectrum Disorder or acquired brain injuries may have strong language skills but still struggle with effective interaction. We provide practical strategies to strengthen social understanding and support clearer, more confident communication in everyday situations.
