Assessment and therapy tailored to each child's strengths, needs, and everyday routines — in your home or online.
An assessment helps us understand your child's strengths and areas of need, and plan the next steps together.
Sessions are built around your child's goals and interests.
Virtual therapy is best for children who can sit in front of the computer for at least 30 minutes, or for parents who want consultation and parent-coaching sessions.
Sessions in your home in Woodbridge and York Region.
Online sessions available across Ontario.
Support for understanding and using words, sentences, and conversation.
Language therapy can support children who are late to talk, use fewer words than expected, have difficulty combining words, or need help understanding and following language. Therapy is available in English and French, and supports bilingual and multilingual families.
Support for children who have difficulty saying speech sounds clearly, including articulation and motor speech.
Articulation therapy supports children who are hard to understand, or who have trouble producing specific speech sounds. Sessions are play-based and built around your child's interests, with practical ideas to practise at home.
Support for the language skills that build reading and writing.
Literacy support focuses on the language foundations of reading and writing, such as phonological awareness, sound–letter connections, vocabulary, and understanding stories. Sessions are engaging and matched to your child's age and goals.
Neurodiversity-affirming support for autistic children's communication goals.
Therapy is neurodiversity-affirming and builds on each child's strengths, interests, and ways of communicating. Goals are set together with families and focus on what matters most in your child's daily life, such as connection, play, and expressing needs.
Support with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), such as picture boards and speech-generating devices.
AAC includes any way of communicating other than speech, such as gestures, signs, picture boards, and speech-generating devices or apps. AAC support can help children express themselves and take part in everyday communication, alongside any spoken language.
Practical strategies to support your child's communication every day.
