Speech Therapy

A speech-language pathologist (aka speech therapist) helps your child communicate effectively using clear speech sounds in words and sentences to share their thoughts. They help your child follow directions and respond to questions appropriately.

They help children learn to tell about things (sequencing) that have happened in the past and future, to greet others, comment, and ask questions to initiate and maintain a conversation. To communicate we have to organize our thoughts, pay attention, remember, and plan all at the same time.

Areas of concern: expressive and receptive language delays/disorders, articulation of speech sounds, social interactions and conversation, stuttering

TALKING. UNDERSTANDING.
We use a variety of words and sentence types to share our thoughts. Beginning with your child’s first words, we can help your child create successful messages to connect with others and keep an interaction going. We also must understand what others are saying to respond appropriately. Let us assist your child in learning how to follow directions and understand questions. Work on building vocabulary through word associations, categorization, and basic concepts. Let’s enhance your child’s language through describing, comparing and contrasting, sequencing sentences, and using correct grammar. Academic success and the development of friendships are impacted by our use and understanding of language.
SPEECH. SOUNDS.
You may be having difficulty understanding what your child is saying. Let us practice with your child the speech sounds that are troublesome. Conveying a clear message to adults and peers is a crucial component in relationship building. Whether your child has a few speech sound errors or motor planning difficulties leading to multiple speech errors, we can help you along the way.
SOCIAL SKILLS. FRIENDSHIPS.
Communication is all around us. Our message is delivered through our words, body language, and social abilities. Behaviour and social relationship problems can impact children in a variety ways. Learning to recognize social cues and emotion vocabulary can help your child be successful among peers.
LEARNING TO READ. READING TO LEARN.
Understanding and listening to a story is important to learning new words to use during conversation with others. We spark your child’s interest in stories through interactive read aloud activities. We help your child learn to read by focusing on phonological awareness, which is playing with sounds in words and sentences. We help your child read to learn through story comprehension (main idea, details, answering questions).
