School-Aged Children

As children enter school the demands to understand and use language appropriately become highlighted relating to academic performance and building friendships. Speech sound concerns turn into reading and spelling difficulties. Significant speech sound issues may lead to social isolation, as a child may not be understood by peers. Understanding concerns turn into reading comprehension difficulties, keeping up with teacher instruction, and behaviours in the classroom. Minimal vocabulary and sentences can result in difficulties with writing and maintaining a conversation. Poor conversational skills result in difficultly developing friendships. To maintain a conversation a child must understand what is being said and formulate an appropriate response pertaining to the topic. Typically a school age child would present with the following skills:

School Age
- reads at grade level
- understands what is read at grade level
- share with you what they did that day or in the past
- share with you what is to come in the future
- write a story with a variety of sentence types
- understands what the teacher is saying in the classroom
- manage their own behaviour
- initiate and maintain a conversation
- manage turn-taking and understand game instructions
- develop healthy friendships

Why should I pay for a private Autism assessment?

Quicker access to Funding for Therapy
- The Saskatchewan government currently funds children up to the age of 6 to seek private therapy. This total is $6000 per year.
- Your employee benefits package likely covers psychology services as well as speech therapy.
Peace of Mind
- Either you sense your child might have Autism or a professional mentioned it’s best you seek an Autism assessment for your child.
- Have peace of mind in one day.

What our clients are saying

“We accessed Angie Reeder’s professional support this past summer after having some concerns with our child’s literacy development. She came into our home, accommodating our work and family schedule. Angie spent one on one time with our child. She was very easy to work with and created a very warm and comfortable atmosphere. Our child opened up right away with her. Angie provided us with basic but meaningful strategies. She gave us time to ask questions and provide important information about our child. After our session, I had more questions and a request to have her share some information with our school. She has been extremely patient and more than willing to support our child as best she can. I feel that she has gone out of her way to help support our child’s success, which we are extremely grateful for. As time goes on I will likely schedule more time with Angie due to the ease of her coming into our home and the knowledge and insight she is able to provide. It is evident that Angie is passionate about her work.”

Kyra-Lee

“Angie is friendly and professional. Angie did a home assessment with our son who tends to be a little shy but he LOVED her. We found Angie warm and she was great with our son! She educated us and gave us tips to help expand our son’s vocabulary and optimize his learning. Right now, further sessions are not required but we easily could have been told otherwise. Angie is honest and trusting and puts the child’s needs first rather than her own potential to benefit. I would recommend Wildflower Children’s Therapy to everyone!!”

Jenna Leigh

“We very much enjoyed working with Angie, we both learned so much in a short period of time. I appreciated Angie’s personalized approach and support for the parents. My son has made a ton of progress since we last seen her. Thanks to all of Angie’s support and advice, we were able to continue to help our son and use those same techniques with our younger son.”

Tamara

“Angie provided exceptional service. She went above and beyond for our family. Our kids connected well with her and benefitted from the sessions.”

Jenna

“Angie worked with my daughter and I am really happy with her services, she was very approachable and she showed real interest on my daughter’s improve and progress. I would recommend her anytime, thanks for your help!”

Diego

Angie is an outstanding speech pathologist. She handles my son pretty well and she knows how to keep his interest going during their session (which is very hard because my son’s span of interest is limited).

She is organized and works great with children. She knows what she is doing and always updates me with our next goal. She sees to it that everyone who is involved with my sons development are working together towards the same goal.
