Early Intervention
This involves providing support to young children (usually under 5 years old) who are having trouble with talking, understanding, or communicating. The goal is to support their development as early as possible so they have the best chance to learn and grow. Speech pathologists work with the child—and often their family—to build skills like: * Using words and sentences * Understanding what others say * Playing, taking turns, and interacting with others * Using sounds clearly By starting early, we can make a big difference in a child’s ability to communicate and succeed at home, in childcare, and later at school.
Language development
This is about how children learn to understand and use words and sentences. Some children need extra support to learn new words, follow directions, or express their thoughts clearly. I can help children grow their language skills so they can join in conversations, ask questions, and share their ideas with confidence. Strong language skills also support reading comprehension—helping children understand and make sense of what they read. Sessions are designed around each child’s developmental stage, interests, and communication goals.
Speech sound development
When a child's speech is hard to understand, therapy can help children speak more clearly. Assessment and therapy address speech clarity or pronunciation with individual sounds (articulation), broader sound patterns (phonology) and/or motor speech production (childhood apraxia of speech). Fun, interactive activities support clear communication in everyday settings.
Literacy (spelling, reading and writing)
Strong early literacy skills help set children up for success with reading and writing. Support includes learning about sounds in words, matching letters to sounds, rhyming, blending or breaking apart words and then learning about spelling rules and patterns —all through playful, evidence-based activities.
Social communication & Neurodiversity affirming therapy
Every child communicates in their own way. Therapy supports social connection, understanding, and expression. A neurodiversity-affirming approach focuses on building meaningful interactions and celebrating each child’s unique strengths and interests. This might mean supporting sensory regulation, building self-advocacy, developing perspective taking and expanding communication in ways that feel safe and authentic, and creating opportunities for connection.
