Speech Therapy Burlington
Speech Therapy Burlington for children, teens, adults and seniors — supporting speech, language, literacy, stuttering, autism-related communication, voice, swallowing, stroke, acquired brain injury and more.
Communication changes across life. So should the support.
Speech-language pathology is not only for young children. STCC supports communication and swallowing needs across preschool, school years, adulthood and neurological recovery. The goal is to understand what is difficult now, how it affects daily life, and what kind of support is appropriate next.
Preschool language, speech sounds, stuttering, autism-related communication, AAC and feeding/swallowing concerns.
Children's Services ↗Reading, writing, comprehension, storytelling, social communication, executive functioning and fluency.
Language & Literacy ↗Stroke, aphasia, ABI, voice, swallowing, stuttering, accent modification and professional communication.
Adult Services ↗
Start with what you are noticing.
You do not need to know whether the concern is called a language delay, speech sound disorder, fluency difficulty or social communication concern before contacting an SLP.
Words, sentences, storytelling and communicating ideas.
Directions, questions, concepts and classroom language.
Speech sounds and how easily others understand the child.
Conversation, social communication, participation and self-advocacy.
AAC and other communication supports when speech alone is not enough.
Speaking is only one part of school communication.
School-age language also supports reading, writing, inference, organization, classroom instructions, storytelling, social communication and explaining increasingly complex ideas.
For bilingual and multilingual children, assessment should consider language history, exposure, use and communication across relevant languages and settings where possible.
Communication can change after stroke, injury, illness or life change.
Adults and seniors may seek speech-language pathology for aphasia after stroke, acquired brain injury, cognitive-communication concerns, swallowing, voice, stuttering, Parkinson's-related communication changes, dementia-related communication changes, accent modification or professional communication.
Care without adding travel time to every appointment.
STCC offers online speech-language services across Ontario. For many Burlington clients, virtual care can provide a practical way to access assessment, therapy or consultation from home or another appropriate private setting.
Voice goals should feel personally meaningful.
Gender-affirming voice therapy can support clients who want their voice and communication style to feel more aligned with their identity. Goals may include pitch, resonance, intonation, vocal wellness, speaking patterns and communication comfort.
Goals should be individualized and client-directed rather than based on a single stereotype of how a voice should sound.
