Autism Spectrum Disorder Services

We offer individualized speech and language therapy for autistic children and youth, supporting communication, social connection, and AAC development through collaborative, family-centered care.

Our services focus on fostering strengths and discovering needs with respect to:

  • Receptive and expressive language

  • Improved social connections

  • Consistent use of alternative augmentative communication systems

Multi-disciplinary Team Approach

Every child is different so it is important to build a team that is the right fit. It is not uncommon for teams to include the following members:

  • Speech Language Pathologists

  • Occupational Therapists

  • Physiotherapists

  • Paediatricians

  • Psychologists and Counsellors

  • Teachers and EAs

How Does it Work?

Working together

Following an initial meeting together, we will build a speech and language therapy plan to address your family member's specific needs.  This process involves building an awareness of their unique history, conducting an assessment and identifying communication goals. We will also work with you to select a therapy location and schedule, as well as, assisting you to access available funding. 

We encourage you to contact us for a consultation.
