Our Speech-Language Therapy Offerings
Pediatric Speech Therapy
Helping children develop essential communication skills, including speaking, understanding language, and social interaction. Therapists work with children (preschool – teens) facing speech delays, articulation difficulties, stuttering, or conditions like autism and apraxia to improve their ability to express themselves. Through engaging, age-appropriate techniques, speech-therapy empowers young people to communicate confidently and thrive in daily life.
Adult Speech Therapy
Helping individuals improve their communication, speech, and swallowing abilities due to conditions like stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, or voice disorders. Therapists provide personalized strategies to enhance clarity, confidence, and overall communication skills for daily life and work. Through targeted exercises and expert guidance, speech therapy empowers adults to regain independence and express themselves effectively.
Expert Assessments
We provide in-depth evaluations for medico-legal and medical malpractice cases, determining the impact of speech, language, and swallowing disorders. These assessments offer objective, evidence-based reports for legal proceedings, insurance claims, and rehabilitation planning. Conducted by experienced speech-language pathologists, they ensure accurate documentation and professional insight to support fair and informed decisions.
Swallowing Assessments
These specialized evaluations are designed to assess an individual’s ability to swallow safely and efficiently. These assessments help identify any difficulties or abnormalities in the swallowing process, which may affect nutrition or respiratory health. Depending on the complexity of the issue, assessments can range from simple bedside evaluations to more advanced tests like Modified Barium Swallow or Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies.
St. Catharines – Hamilton – Virtual
With two convenient office locations, virtual sessions from the comfort of your home, and community-based services, we ensure flexible access to care. If you can’t make it to the clinic, our clinicians can provide online therapy or visit you at your home, school, or workplace.
