Abilities in Action – Speech-Language Therapy

Speech-Language Therapy supports how a child communicates and connects with others. Our Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Communicative Disorder Assistants (CDAs) use evidence-informed approaches to build communication skills in fun, ways—and to help families find strategies that work in everyday routines.

Our SLPs and CDAs can support children/youth who:

• Communicate in different ways (including using gestures, pictures, devices, or other supports)
• Have difficulty expressing themselves (words, sentences, sharing ideas)
• Need support understanding language (following directions, answering questions)
• Find conversations challenging (taking turns, staying on topic, understanding social cues)
• Have speech sound difficulties (being understood)
• Stutter or have fluency differences
• Have voice concerns (for example, sounding hoarse)
