Helping Children Communicate With Greater Confidence
Speech and language challenges can affect how a child expresses needs, understands others, participates socially and builds confidence. Our pediatric speech-language team provides individualized support for communication skills across a wide range of needs.
Speech therapy support across Surrey, White Rock, Burnaby and Abbotsford.
Every Child Communicates Differently
Speech therapy can support children who are late to talk, difficult to understand, developing language differently, using AAC, navigating social communication, or experiencing fluency, voice or motor-speech challenges. Therapy is tailored to the child’s communication profile, developmental stage and family priorities.
Our Speech Therapy Services
Our speech-language team supports a broad range of communication needs through individualized, family-centred care.
Speech Sound Disorders
Support for articulation errors and phonological patterns that can make speech difficult to understand.
Language Delays & Disorders
Support for receptive language, expressive language and building functional communication skills.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Specialized support for children who have difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed for speech.
Stuttering & Fluency
Strategies designed to support more comfortable, confident communication for children who stutter.
Voice Disorders
Support for concerns such as hoarseness, breathiness, pitch differences or other voice-related difficulties.
Early Intervention
Communication support for young children, including toddlers who are late to talk or need help building early language.
Social Communication
Support for conversation, social language, body-language awareness and pragmatic communication skills.
AAC
Low-tech and high-tech augmentative and alternative communication options for children who are non-speaking or minimally speaking.
Communication Skills Touch Every Part of a Child’s Day
Communication supports learning, relationships, independence and participation. When a child has difficulty expressing ideas, understanding language or being understood, the impact can show up at home, at school and in social situations.
Early and appropriate support can help families better understand a child’s communication needs and build practical skills that carry into everyday routines.
Speech therapy may help with:
• clearer speech and sound production
• understanding and using language
• social communication and conversation
• fluency and confidence
• AAC and alternative ways to communicate
