Pediatric Services
We help children develop vital communication skills, including speaking, understanding language, and social interaction.
Our therapists work with children from preschool to teens who are dealing with speech delays, articulation issues, stuttering, or conditions such as autism and apraxia. Using engaging, age-appropriate techniques, speech therapy empowers children to express themselves confidently and succeed in everyday life.
Speech Sound Disorders
Articulation, Motor Speech, and Phonological challenges can affect speech clarity, but with proper support, children can develop more accurate sound production.
- Substituting one sound for another (e.g., saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit”)
- Omitting sounds in words (e.g., saying “tar” instead of “star”)
- Distorting sounds (e.g., pronouncing “ship” as “sip”)

Voice Therapy
Voice disorders in children refer to changes in vocal quality, pitch, loudness, or effort that are not typical for a child’s age and that impact communication or daily participation. These changes may be related to vocal behaviours, medical factors, or conditions such as vocal nodules, vocal polyps, or muscle tension dysphonia.
Children may develop voice difficulties due to frequent yelling, throat clearing, illness, or increased vocal demands at school, sports, or social activities.
AAC Services
Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) is any form of communication other than speech, that may be used to assist, add on to (augment), or be used as an alternative to speech to ensure communication success. AAC tools can also be used to support clarifying messages, repairing communication breakdowns, and act as clearer auditory and written models of intended speech to support expansion of speech and literacy skills.
