Communication Therapy
Our speech-language pathologists support each child’s unique strengths, maximizing their ability to communicate with the people around them
Our speech-language pathologists work with families and caregivers to help children maximize their communication skills and ability to participate in family life, preschool and peer relationships.

Service Provision
Services are play based, with activities that are fun and purposeful, maximizing function.
We believe a child’s family is an integral part of the therapy team. The primary service focus is training and support of caregivers so they can help their child learn and grow.
Depending on the child’s needs, this training may be in group settings or one to one with the parent/caregiver present.
Who’s eligible?
- Children ages 0- kindergarten entry, living in Surrey, Delta, White Rock or Langley with developmental delays:
- general delays and/or conditions like cerebral palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Down Syndrome
- Children who have speech delays alone are seen by other community agencies
- School-aged children are supported by school district speech-language pathologists (contact the Integrated Support Teacher, Vice-Principal or Principal)
