ABOUT US

We provide speech therapy for kids, adolescents and adults. We tailor our assessments and therapy to address your concerns and area of need! Our speech therapists each have an area of interest and their strengths and therefore, we will endeavour to allocate the best clinician for you or provide a referral to someone else who is!

We pride ourselves on being a neurodiversity-affirming space. We are dedicated to continuing our professional development specifically in the areas of sensory regulation, trauma-informed practice, early intervention, mental health, social communication and Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) assessment and therapy approaches.
