What will a speech therapy session look like?
Speech-Language Therapy Services will begin with a formal or informal assessment to determine the client’s current abilities, strengths, and areas for development. Goals will be set collaboratively with the client, the family, and the multidisciplinary team (if applicable). Subsequent therapy sessions follow a play-based, child-led approach based on abilities and goals. A Doctors referral is not required to access SLP services.
