Speech Pathology

What is a speech pathologist?
Speech pathologists are health professionals who are trained to work with families to improve a child's communication and feeding skills.

How can a speech pathologist help my child?
Our speech pathologists are skilled in helping children in all of these areas:
  • Making speech easier to understand
  • Improving reading and spelling skills
  • Expanding vocabulary and improving sentence structure
  • Understanding language
  • Fussy eating
  • Finding alternative communication methods 

We have speech pathologists trained in these approaches:

  • Hanen It Takes Two to Talk
  • Hanen More Than Words
  • Hanen TalkAbility
  • Picture Exchange Communication System
  • PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets)
  • SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Feeding Therapy

​All of our speech pathologists have experience working with children with disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Kabuki Syndrome, William's Syndrome
