Speech Pathology
KidsPT offers strengths-based and family-centered therapy, centering around evidence-based practices. As a multidisciplinary team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and allied health assistants (AHA’s), we provide a holistic approach. Our focus is on the individual needs of the child, their family, and their broader support system.
To best serve our community, KidsPT offers one-on-one therapy, group therapy sessions, and a variety of workshops for service providers and the wider community. Our AHA’s also assist with therapy sessions, implementing treatment and therapy plans under the direct supervision of the primary therapist.
