Our Mission is:

• To help clients reach their full potential by offering exemplary therapeutic services in an atmosphere of kindness and with integrity and high accountability
• To earn the respect of referral sources by providing measurable results
• To provide a work environment that keeps employees challenged, satisfied and motivated

We Don’t Just Say We are Committed to Clinical Excellence – We Do It!

• Each therapist sees just 3-5 clients a day – therapists have time to research and plan tailored services that are both effective and meaningful for each individual
• When you work with a clinician at Lear, you have access to ALL staff knowledge, creativity and experience. At Lear we work together to think critically and outside the box when needed, we pull eachother in for an extra set of hands or eyes, we consult with clinical leads in various disorder areas and provide education to the team on best practices and newest research in the field. We really believe that sometimes 6 heads are better than 1!
• We have an in-depth Performance Evaluation and Goal Setting system to ensure all staff achieve superior levels of technical and interpersonal skill

We Stay Connected!

• Lear communication works closely with our local community partners such as local children’s centers, McMaster Children’s Hospital, community health professionals such as dieticians, occupational therapists, social workers, behavioral consultants, massage therapists, specialized tutors, personal injury lawyers, neuropsychologists, case managers and insurers. If you need anything outside of the scope of an SLP, we know how to link you to some pretty amazing professionals that can help!

We have Overhead – and it’s Actually a Good Thing!

• We have a secretary to ensure calls are answered quickly, and to allow our therapists to focus on clinical activities rather than administrative duties
• We purchase state-of-the art tests, equipment and materials
• We have a pleasant and comfortable clinic environment
• We are wheelchair accessible and we have free parking
