Speech with Miss Kate

Speech with Miss Kate Kate has almost a decade of experience working with individuals of all ages and supporting them throu Areas of expertise:
Stuttering
Stuttering hurts.

Kate provides assessment and treatment for a variety of speech and language disorders for individuals of all ages. It hurts to introduce yourself using a fake name, because it’s easier to say without stuttering. It hurts to order something you don’t want at a restaurant, because the words won’t come out. It hurts to say you don’t know the answer because you’re worried about stuttering. These covert moments of stuttering contribute to the damaging impact it can have on an individual’s life. Kate can help. She has specialized training in fluency disorders and has worked with hundreds of clients who stutter. She has helped children, teens, and adults find their voice and build their confidence as speakers. She has training and experience delivering the Lidcombe Program, Palin Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and the Comprehensive Stuttering Program (adult and modified for teens and children). Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
All too often, children with apraxia of speech are mistaken for “late talkers” and families wait for speech to develop, but children with CAS need extra support. We let our children down when they are not identified with CAS until their kindergarten screening and then spend their elementary school years struggling to be heard, struggling to be understood, and struggling to build connections. There is a better way. Toddlers and preschoolers are ready for help and often progress much quicker than children who do not see a speech pathologist until kindergarten. Set your child up for success. Kate has specialized in CAS for almost a decade, she has specialized certification in PROMPT and Let’s Start Talking and understands the details of oral-motor movements and how to support an appropriate hierarchy of development. Services also available for:
AAC Use (LAMP certified)
Expressive and Receptive Language Delays and Disorders
Phonological Disorders
Articulation Delays
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Accent Modification
Pre-Reading Skills
Language Formulation Difficulties

Hi everyone! My name is Meg and I thought I’d drop a little line here to see if there’s any interest in some weekly equine assisted social groups!

I’m a behavioural consultant that lives just north of Spruce/Stony. I normally consult with schools and individuals - but I’m also incredibly passionate about the social/life lessons horses can provide too!

I’ve been running camps/lessons to exclusive and small groups for a few years now - usually for families that are stressed about enrolling their kids in typical camps unsupported. I’ve felt a huge calling to expand this philosophy, so I’m going to humbly put it out there.

These are small group sessions (max four kids) where we work on communication, social skill development, emotional regulation, empathy, trust, and interoception/sensory awareness.

Please check out my page, drop me a message, or incase of some weird technical malfunction (legit for this cowgirl) my email is pathwaysrgf@gmail.com for inquiries!

I’m in the midst of making a website
So please keep checking!
Summer camp dates to come too 🥰

That in between space of “it’s probably fine”… but “what if it’s not?”

It’s a hard place to sit in.

If you’re feeling unsure about your child’s communication, we’re here to help you sort through it. No pressure , just support 🤍

You become instantly interesting
when you have what they love 🐶

…taking notes 😌✍️

That’s exactly how we approach therapy,
we figure out what your child loves
and we build everything around it

(and yes… sometimes that includes bringing the therapy dog 🤍)

Speech therapy isn’t just the session.

It’s everything that happens after 🤍

It’s the strategies, embedded into daily life that make the difference.

We guide you once a week, but you’re the one turning those strategies into progress.

That’s what makes the difference.

POV: your second child likes swings… and now you have a perfect language learning setup 😅

(as long as you’re pushing from the front)

Face-to-face interaction + repetition + shared attention

(also… my first has never been a swing girl so this feels like a win 😂)

Sometimes we see children with their mouths open at rest, drooling frequently, or snoring at night…and it’s often brushed off as something they’ll grow out of

While these can happen occasionally (like when a kiddo is sick), they aren’t considered typical when ongoing

They can be a sign of more going on

These patterns can impact:
• speech sound development
• oral motor coordination
• jaw and facial growth
• sleep quality
• attention and regulation
• overall energy during the day

When children are able to breathe comfortably through their nose and maintain a closed-mouth resting posture, it supports more optimal development across many areas

If you’re noticing open mouth posture, frequent drooling, or regular snoring, it can be helpful to dig deeper

We’re always happy to help guide families on what to look for and where to start

If your child says things like:
“I played Pearl”
“I want Jake”
“I saw Anna”

…and you’re left thinking…
👉 Pearl what?
👉 Jake from where?
👉 Anna who?

This is for you:

Kids often use specific names without enough context
they know exactly what they mean…but their listener doesn’t.

That’s where we use:
⭕️Circles of Describing ⭕️

Start broad → add context → be specific

Instead of:
“I want Jake”

We help them build it into:
“I want the show about pirates… Jake the Pirate”

This helps kids:
• understand how specifics can be nested within more general definitions
• take perspective and organize their language for their listener
• provide enough context to be understood

I’m thinking about running a Snack-Sized Webinar where I walk through:

✔ how to teach this step-by-step
✔ how to cue it in real life
✔ what profile of clients to use it with

👇

Comment “YES” if you’d join!

Parent: He likes Pokémon

Us: say less

Building therapy around what kids love is one of the easiest ways to support engagement, connection, and communication.

When kids are interested, they’re more likely to participate, interact, and communicate! This might be why we’re slightly overrun with games 😅
