Our Clients Communicate With Purpose
Our services are tailored to the needs of the growing body of adults in Toronto who recognize the importance of their communication. We are a sought-after clinic because we understand that adults have significant and idiosyncratic communication histories and well-defined applications; adults have a different way of learning than children; adults face competitive and high-pressure conditions around communication. Based on our values, we are commonly approached by adults from all walks of life including:
• Lawyers and litigators
• Veterans
• Programmers
• Actors and singers
• Real estate agents
• Teachers and professors
• Consultants
• Managers and executives
• College/University students
• Sales Directors
Like you, our clients have specific reasons for their communication goals and reasons for seeking our support:
• Self-development
• Improved workplace performance
• Improved social relationships
• Improved confidence
• Self-advocacy
• High-stakes interview
• New position
• Life transition
• Career advancement
• Conflict resolution
Our clients have nuanced histories:
• A diagnosis: ADHD, Asperger's, Social Communication Disorder or other condition that affects the brain
• Injured in an accident
• Overcame mental health concerns
• Limited experience with speaking in front of a group
• Persisted through stage fright
• Reflected on constructive feedback about communication
• Participated in speech therapy for voice, lisps, stuttering or rehab before
• Worked with a different type of clinician (i.e., social worker or psychologist) on communication or social skills
• Lived in an area that did not have school speech therapy as a child
• Limited social practice causing a delay in social skill development
• Learned English from instructors with different accents
• Struggled with medical issues affecting communication
And like you, our clients learn differently than do children
• Adults must want to learn
• Adults will learn only what they feel they need to learn
• Adults learn by doing
• Experience affects adult learning
• Adults learn best in an informal situation
• Adults want guidance, not instruction
• Adult learning focuses on problems and the problems must be realistic
We all have different priorities around communication
Your reason for improving your communication is entirely your own like the results, which is why we are here: to support your speech, language and communication development.
