Clinical Services
Communication difficulties affect children of all ages and can be secondary to a diagnosis such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome and other developmental differences. Many children do not “grow out” of communication difficulties and early treatment often makes a big difference to a child’s prognosis. We help children reach their greatest potential by supporting communication difficulties in the areas of reading, language and speech. A combination of treatment sessions (in-person or virtual), home programming, and parent coaching is delivered by a registered speech-language pathologist to optimize clinical outcomes and help children become confident communicators.
