We all have a right to communicate.

Here at Speechcombers, we work with both children and adults and we offer a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We offer a variety of therapy services out of our office in Vancouver, including individual sessions, groups, parent coaching, and assessments.

Children

For children, this means that we do our best to really get to know your child, and help them to understand and express themselves authentically. Some example goal areas that we may work on include pronouncing sounds more clearly, understanding language, putting thoughts into words, sentences, or stories, advocating for what we need, and understanding how our brains and others’ brains work.

Following conversations about how best to support your child, we may use sign language, visual supports, and/or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to support your child’s communication, as well as supporting your child’s verbal language development.

Adults

For adults, we want to make sure we are working on goal areas that are meaningful to you. We will figure out what type of change you’d like to make, and support you to reach your goals.
