Abilities in Action – Speech-Language Therapy

Mother and daughter 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)
