Speech Therapy Services
Our licensed speech therapists provide 1 on 1 speech therapy services at the clinic or online. Our goal is to ensure that therapy is effective, functional, and enjoyable for the client. We work with preschool, school-aged, adult and senior clients on a variety of communication concerns including early language acquisition, developmental speech delays, autism, articulation concerns, stuttering, reading and writing, post-stroke rehabilitation, and accent modification.
We believe in a family centered and multi-disciplinary approach to speech therapy. This means we work with other professionals such as doctors, behavioural therapists, parents , and teachers in order to provide the best care to our clients. An individualized treatment program is crafted to provide the client with a personalized speech therapy plan.
Speech therapy for early language generally focuses on receptive and expressive language.
What does that mean?
Receptive language is the understanding of words, phrases, and sentences whereas expressive language is the output of words, phrases, and sentences necessary for communication.
Speech therapy sessions in Mississauga take place at our clinic or virtually. Depending on the client and their goals, we may focus on:
- turn-taking through routines
- language comprehension strategies
- training in alternative communication
- literacy activities
- physical exercises
- encouraging verbalization through play
- articulation practice/drills
- conversation practice
At Speech Specialists, we are big advocates for early intervention when it comes to speech therapy. When children are young, their brains are highly receptive to language development and therefore make speech therapy much more effective. Early intervention also ensures that any such symptoms do not worsen over time since they are addressed immediately. This way we can minimize the daily impact on a child’s life with regard to issues with language or speaking. Feel free to call us so that we can help you in the best possible way.
