Speech Therapy Whitby
The Speech Therapy Centres of Canada is a team of dedicated speech-language pathologists (S-LPs or speech therapists) who provide assessments and therapy services for a variety of communication disorders. Some more common difficulties we see in pre-school children include speech and language delay, stuttering, communication disorders associated with autism spectrum disorder and drooling and swallowing issues.
In school-aged children, stuttering, social communication issues, speech and language difficulties and the communication deficits we see with learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorder, are commonly addressed at the Speech Therapy Centres of Canada.
An area that is commonly addressed at the Speech Therapy Centres of Canada is the communication issues occurring following an acquired brain injury including concussion such as a motor vehicle accident, falls, sports injuries and more.
Our licensed speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) and client relations team members are truly committed to providing the highest quality of service to our clients and their families. After an assessment, our speech therapists create an individualized therapy plan. Our goal is to help every person reach their potential and participate fully at home, within the community, and at school or in the workplace.
Speech Therapy Centres of Canada has clinics across Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Whitby to serve preschool children (including toddlers), school aged children, adults, and seniors in Whitby. In addition to in person therapy, we offer online speech therapy (virtual).

Speech Therapy for Preschool Children (including toddlers) in Whitby
Early intervention in children with speech and language difficulties is recommended. The earlier the intervention, the less frustration the child will have when communicating.
Speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) are the trained professionals to identify, manage and treat problems including drooling, swallowing, pre-school language disorders, or any other speech difficulties in toddlers and children. In typically developing children, there is an age at which certain language skills milestones are achieved, click here to get the Milestone Checklist.
Speech Therapy Centres of Canada addresses the many communications needs of children on the autism spectrum (ASD). Family and client-centred approaches are an essential part of our philosophy. Our speech pathologists are trained to use supportive communication (AAC – alternative and augmentative communication) to ensure meaningful communication occurs when clients have severe speech and language difficulties.
Speech Therapy Whitby
Speech Therapy for School-Aged Children in Whitby
Adequate communication skills are an essential component of daily activities for school-aged children at home, in the community and at school. These include social communication (making and meeting friends), reading and writing (literacy), understanding instructional language in the classroom, telling stories, and expressing wants and needs.
School-aged children’s understanding of instructional language and the increasingly more complex aspects of language (sarcasm, abstract language) are all areas addressed by speech therapists. At this age, speech therapists can assess children that are bilingual to help determine whether a child has a language delay or just needs to catch up with the language skills required for learning in the classroom.
