Our services
Speech, language, reading and feeding challenges can seem stressful and overwhelming, our job is to help it all make sense for you. We use play and interaction to target skills for children in a low pressure, happy environment that supports learning and engagement. Our number one goal after each appointment is to ensure you child wants to come back next time!

where to start
Emily Merritt, M.Sc., S-LP (C) Reg. CASLPO
Speech Language Pathologist
The first step is booking an assessment!
If you have not had an assessment completed by a Speech-Language Pathologist in the past 6 months, this is where to start! Everyone starts with Emily for an assessment. From there we will find the clinician that best suits your needs and schedule! You do not need a referral to get started!
If you do have a recent assessment completed, perhaps by the school board or a publicly funded clinician, reach out! We often can work from these assessments and get you started in therapy right away!
