We believe that all of our clients can evolve to their fullest communication potential regardless of their skill level, diagnosis or previous participation in therapy.
Our Story…
We are a group of three Speech Language Pathologists (SLP’s) who all come from a very diversified background but share a common belief. We believe that all of our clients can evolve to their fullest communication potential regardless of their skill level, diagnosis or previous participation in therapy.
Prior to coming together to form Evolve Speech Therapy, the three of us observed a similar concern that was frequently being voiced to us by parents: Their children were not receiving the depth nor the frequency of services they felt would benefit them to reach their fullest potential. As founding SLP’s of Evolve Speech Therapy, we believe each one of us has a unique skill set. We complement one another based on the shared belief that each client should be matched with the SLP who is passionate about working with that specific communication need.
It is our common interest, paired with our diversified backgrounds that inspires us to use an individualized, specialized and integrative approach to support each child in their journey towards reaching their fullest communication potential.
We are a team of experienced SLPs who believe that collaboration is essential to make change. We work together to continuously challenge, learn and grow as professionals. We are registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and have our Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech and Language Hearing Association (ASHA). We are trained in a number of specialized approaches such as PROMPT, Social Thinking, Hanen Programs, Emotional Regulation, Stuttering 101, TALK YOGA and more. We are committed to our families and making a difference!
Our Therapy groups are unique & creatively designed by us.
