Pediatric Speech Therapy in Burlington

Speech-Language Pathologists have Master’s level education and must be registered with the Ontario College of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists in order to practice in the province. They are regulated healthcare professionals who continue to upgrade their skills and participate in continuing education coursework aimed specifically at supporting children and their communication skills.

What is Pediatric Speech Therapy?

Speech-Language Pathologists work closely with family members, caregivers, educators, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to develop goals suited to your child’s function and your family’s needs. This can help improve your child’s participation and communication skills in daily activities.

When working with Infants, toddlers, and young children, speech-language pathology sessions include functional play, music and motivating activities to help your child have fun while reaching therapy goals. Youth and adolescents will benefit from education about their communication skills, strategies and techniques that will help them improve and how they can drive their own success in the process.

What types of difficulties does a Speech-Language Pathologist assess and treat?

Children see speech-language pathologists for a variety of reasons, including:

Verbal expression skills (use of language)

Comprehension skills (understanding language)

Cognitive-communication skills

Articulation skills and speech intelligibility

Fluency and stuttering

Pre-literacy and literacy skills (including reading and writing)

Social communication skills

Swallowing abilities

If you feel that your toddler or child may be challenged in his or her communication skills, we’re here to help.

How do Speech-Language Pathologists help children?

Speech and language development is important for learning, literacy, and communicating with others. Early identification and intervention of speech and language difficulties make a big difference: the earlier a communication disorder is identified, the better the chances for improvement or even recovery.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….

On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.

I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.

Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
