Speech Therapy For Reading, Writing and Literacy

Pillars of Wellness, located in Burlington, Aldershot, specializes in the use of speech-language pathology (speech therapy) to help with reading difficulties and writing challenges to improve literacy overall.

The key to literacy is reading development, which involves awareness of speech sounds (phonology), word reading, phonetic decoding, reading fluency, comprehension, spelling, and written expression. There are a wide range of reading difficulties and writing challenges from those who are diagnosed with a reading disability such as dyslexia or learning disability to those who are just lagging behind and could benefit from some focused reading assistance.

Benefits of speech therapy for reading and writing difficulties

Improved overall communication at home, school, and work

More confidence and reduced anxiety

Better attention and listening

What to expect during the initial visit?

Here at Pillars of Wellness, our speech-language pathologists, Alana Clayton and Nurit Nadler, will perform a comprehensive assessment to help build a custom speech therapy plan. This may also involve working closely with your loved ones in order to keep up with speech therapy exercises at home.

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.

They make you feel welcome with a smile and kind words every time you walk through their doors. They truly care. We have not yet had the need to experience the many other services that Pillars of Wellness offers, but if we ever did, we definitely would not hesitate to use them.

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.
