At Speak2Read, we are passionate about helping kids and families to Achieve, Believe, and Communicate! Communication encompasses not only the things we say, but also the way we speak, the way we think, the way we read, and the way we write. Communication is essential for establishing and maintaining social relationships, for academic achievement, and for business and work success later in life. Co
mmunication skills play a large role in shaping our identity and developing our confidence. We are committed to current research, theory, and practise to ensure our clients receive impactful and purposeful intervention with communication skill improvement always at the forefront of our goals. We strive for the perfect marriage of research-informed practise, experience, and student engagement so that our work is meaningful but fun! Our current staff provides support for children aged 3 – 18 and their families. We address delays or disorders in speech, language, literacy, and learning. Support is available for difficulties with saying sounds, creating and comprehending sentences (language), and written language skills - reading, writing, and spelling. We offer comprehensive services including assessment, consultation, parent training/home programming, and therapy. We strive to ensure parents understand the impact of communication delays or deficits as well as the purpose of our therapy activities. In addition to our goal of improving client communication skills, we are also mindful of empowering parents to help their children at home. All children learn differently and have individual profiles of strength and challenge. We strongly believe that interventions must be individually tailored to the client, and that one size never fits all. As such, we prefer to begin our time to together with assessment that allows the child teach us which communication skills they are good at, and which ones may require further practise. Comprehensive and accurate assessment leads to the design of effective interventions. Billing is determined through an hourly rate, but don’t forget the initial consultation is free! Intervention schedules vary by family schedule and client needs. Full-time clinic hours are currently available through zoom and in-person, with COVID-19 protocols in place.
