What Age Should a Child See a Speech Therapist?

Assessment

Assessment for identified or suspected Motor Speech or Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) concerns, as well as general speech-language concerns (articulation, phonology, expressive/receptive language, augmentative & alternative communication, social skills/pragmatics). Assessment sessions vary in length (1-2 hours) depending on the nature of concern; please contact us to discuss your concerns and we can offer individualized solutions for you.

Treatment/Therapy

Treatment/Therapy for Childhood Apraxia of Speech, suspected Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Motor Speech disorders, and general speech-language concerns (articulation, phonology, expressive/receptive language, augmentative & alternative communication, social skills/pragmatics). Therapy sessions are available in various session lengths. Intensive therapy services for those travelling from out of the area are also available.

Consultation services

Consultation services (e.g. with families/clients, other professionals, schools) are available for all clients, especially those with suspected or identified Motor Speech Disorder or Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Families and/or professionals looking for advocacy or supports around diagnosis are welcome to visit Childhood Apraxia & Speech Therapy Centre for resources and/or clinical support. We have worked with many families from across Ontario.

About Us

Childhood Apraxia & Speech Therapy Centre does not subscribe to the “wait and see” approach. If you are concerned about how your child sounds when they speak, or are unsure about errors you might be hearing, we’d love to help. We can assess your child’s speech sound development typically in just one session, and give you peace of mind before you leave – whether your child is within the range of typical sound development or might need some therapy to get on track. We will provide you with a clear action plan including cost and time estimates so you can rest assured that you are in good hands and, importantly, that you feel in control of the situation.
