It's never too early to seek help. If you're concerned about your child's speech or language development, give us a call to see if we can help. We work with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, addressing a wide range of speech and language challenges.
Each speech therapy session is thoughtfully designed to help your child make meaningful progress.
Sessions are:
Structured and Goal-Oriented: We begin with clear, measurable goals tailored to your child’s unique needs. This helps us track progress and celebrate achievements along the way.
Play-Based and Engaging: Children learn best when they’re having fun! We use games, activities, and interactive tools to make each session enjoyable and effective.
Collaborative with Parents: As a parent, you’re an essential part of the therapy process. We’ll provide you with strategies and resources so you can support your child’s growth at home.

The duration of speech therapy varies for each child because every child’s needs and progress are unique. Factors such as the nature and severity of the speech or language issue, the child’s age, consistency in attending sessions, and practicing skills at home all play a role.
Some children may achieve their goals in a few months, while others might benefit from ongoing support over a longer period. During the initial evaluation, we’ll discuss a customized therapy plan and set realistic goals. Throughout therapy, we’ll regularly assess your child’s progress and adjust the plan as needed. Our ultimate goal is to help your child build strong communication skills that will serve them for life.
In therapy, we use a variety of materials and tools, including toys, games, worksheets, books, and visual aids. We also incorporate technology, such as interactive apps and videos, to make sessions more engaging and fun. The tools we use are carefully selected to align with your child’s therapy goals and to support their learning in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
Our therapy sessions are generally one-on-one to ensure that your child receives personalized attention and support. This approach allows us to focus on your child’s specific needs and tailor activities accordingly.
At this time, we only accept e-transfers or cheques for all services.
Our services may be covered by your extended health insurance plan. Many insurance providers in Ontario offer reimbursement for speech therapy services under paramedical benefits.

Please check with your insurer to confirm the details of your coverage for speech therapy services.
Direct Billing: We do not offer direct billing with insurance companies at this time.

Yes! Teletherapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy for many speech and language challenges. It offers flexibility and convenience while maintaining a high standard of care.
We believe in open and ongoing communication with families to ensure that you’re informed about your child’s progress every step of the way. Here’s how we keep you involved:
1. Regular Goal Evaluation: At the start of therapy, we establish clear, measurable goals based on your child’s individual needs. These goals are regularly assessed and updated to reflect progress.
2. Quantitative Measures: Along with qualitative observations, we also rely on specific, quantifiable criteria to monitor your child’s progress. This multi-modal approach allow us to track changes over time and provide concrete data that shows progress.
3. Open Communication: We prioritize open lines of communication with you. After each session, we provide feedback on what your child worked on and how they performed. We also offer suggestions for activities and strategies to support continued growth at home. If you have any concerns or questions about your child’s progress, we encourage you to reach out.
4. Progress Reports: Periodically, we can provide you with formal updates that summarize your child’s progress towards their therapy goals. These reports may include both qualitative observations and quantitative measures, offering a comprehensive view of how far your child has come and what we’ll focus on next.
Yes! Parent involvement is key. We’ll keep you informed and often invite you to join activities.
We offer a secure client portal where we can stay in touch between therapy sessions. Through the portal, you’ll have direct access to important updates, resources, and activities tailored to your child’s progress. We will share activities, exercises, and helpful resources that you can use at home to reinforce what your child is learning in therapy. These resources may include worksheets, videos, or suggestions for activities to do together as a family. We may also assign “homework” or practice tasks for your child to work on between sessions. These are simple, fun activities designed to support your child’s learning and progress in a natural environment, such as at the dinner table, during playtime, or while reading together.
A strong and trusting connection between your child and their clinician is essential for effective therapy. If you feel the fit isn’t quite right, we encourage open communication. Please share your concerns with us, and we’ll work together to address them.
Sometimes, adjustments can be made to the therapy approach or style to better suit your child’s needs. If a different clinician might be a better match, we can explore that option. Your child’s progress and well-being are our top priorities, and we’re committed to finding the best solution for your family.
