Speech, Language And Social Communication

We aim to provide comprehensive stuttering assessment and treatment, using individualized goals for each client. 

 

Goals may include:

  • improving speech fluency, 

  • reducing physical tension,

  • building supportive family strategies,

  • working on underlying attitudes and beliefs,

  • self-advocacy, 

  • positive self-acceptance.  

 

Therapy is planned with establishing new patterns of communication, as well as purposely transferring those patterns to other speaking environments.   

 

Maintenance of newly learned skills over time is another important aspect of planning intervention.   

 

We work closely with families and involve them in treatment in order to best support the client’s growth between sessions. 

We provide assessment and intervention for clients with:

 

  • Speech sound delays/disorders (e.g., speech sound development)

  • Language delays/disorders (e.g., early language learners, literacy & school-age language development)

  • Social communication difficulties (e.g. difficulties with  turn-taking, using spontaneous language, topic maintenance, perspective-taking etc.)

 

We work collaboratively with clients and families to pick goals that are meaningful for them and that aim to create functional change.

 

In treatment sessions, we also involve families in order to best support the client’s growth between sessions.
