Speech therapy isn’t just about correcting speech—it’s about building skills that go beyond words. Here’s how it helps:

🗣 Supports Literacy – Strong language skills are essential for reading and writing.
🗣 Improves Social Skills – Helps with conversation rules, tone, and body language.
🗣 Boosts Cognitive Skills – Aids memory and problem-solving, especially for those recovering from brain injuries.
🗣 Strengthens Auditory Processing – Makes it easier to understand speech in noisy environments.

Speech therapy is about more than talking—it’s about thriving in life and connecting with others.☺

We’re committed to advocating for our clients' needs, no matter how big the challenge. I’ll never forget working with a young girl who, despite wearing hearing aids, could not access all the speech sounds she needed.

For those unfamiliar with it, a cochlear implant is a surgically implanted device that helps people with severe hearing loss bypassing damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve. After a lot of dedication from her family and our team, we were able to help her qualify for the surgery.

Today, that young girl is attending university and confidently navigating both her education and life, thanks to the support of her cochlear implant. Moments like this remind us of the incredible impact we can have on our clients' lives. - Yvonne🥰

New to speech therapy or hearing aids? Here’s what to know!☺

Julia S. from HearSay shares some helpful advice:

Speech therapy at home doesn’t have to feel like homework! Make it fun. Play a game, read together, or let your child tell you a story. The more natural, the better!🗣

Are you new to hearing aids? Sounds will be different at first! Bring a friend or family member to your appointment to help you remember important details, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support.🦻

Small steps lead to big progress!🌟

Throwback to the early days!🥰

“When I started at HearSay, the owners’ kids would come by after school, doing homework, drawing pictures, and even experimenting with ‘DIY facial scrubs’ (we went through a lot of sugar!). Those little moments made the office feel like family, and now, it’s amazing to see them all grown up, sharing their adventures with us!” – Julia S.

Some things change, but the heart of HearSay has always stayed the same.🌟

"How much do hearing aids cost?"🤔

It’s one of the most common questions we hear; the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Choosing a hearing aid is like buying a car—there are different brands, models, and features to consider!🦻

The good news? There’s a solution for every need and budget. The best way to find the right fit is to book a consultation, during which we can discuss your options.

Do you have questions? We’re here to help! Send us a message or give us a call. We’d love to chat.☺

In speech therapy, progress looks different for every child. Sometimes, it’s mastering a new sound. Other times, it’s the confidence to say a single word.🌟

One of our team members shared this moment:

"A little one had been coming to the clinic for a while but never spoke to me. Then, one day, they walked in, looked right at me, and said ‘hello’—just like that! It may have seemed small, but it was huge. I couldn’t wait to tell their clinician!"

Every child moves at their own pace; moments like this are a great reminder that progress is always happening!🥰

Hearing how much our approach has made a difference for families like this one means the world to us!

Check out what one of our clients said about their experience with HearSay and how our play-based therapy keeps kids engaged and making real progress.

Is your hearing trying to tell you something?🤔

Hearing loss can be sneaky. It’s easy to brush off the signs or put off getting checked. Many people ignore the early signs, postpone a visit, and hesitate to address the issue. This is a common experience for millions worldwide. But remember, no one can take this step for you!

Start with a hearing test. There is no pressure, just guidance to help you make the best decision for your hearing health. Because when it comes to your ears, you deserve to hear your best!🌟

Looking for a fun way to build your child’s early literacy skills at home? Try this simple (but powerful) game:

Write simple words on paper (or draw pictures for younger kids) and hide them around the house.
⭐ Your child’s job? Find the words and use them to create a story!
⭐ Make it easier or harder by adjusting the number of words, using sight words, or ⭐ even rhyming words for an extra challenge!

This activity strengthens:
🔠 Vocabulary – Exposure to new words in a playful way
🗣 Storytelling skills – Encourages creativity and sequencing
📚 Reading confidence – Makes learning fun and engaging

Play-based learning is one of the best ways to build early literacy skills—no worksheets required!☺

"Will my child ever talk?”🗣

It’s a question we hear all the time, and we get it; it comes from a place of love, hope, and sometimes worry. But here’s what we believe: Every child has their own path. We never say a child won’t talk. We focus on helping them reach their fullest potential at their own pace and in their own way.

Progress looks different for everyone, and every step forward is worth celebrating.☺

Let's chat if you’re wondering about your child’s speech development. We’re here to support you.🌟

Hearing isn’t just about sound. It’s about connection, confidence, and being fully present in the moments that matter. Whether it’s catching every word of a conversation, enjoying your favourite music, or simply feeling more engaged in daily life, better hearing makes all the difference.

A Special Memory from HearSay’s Early Days.✨

We asked Yvonne, co-owner of HearSay if she had any fun or meaningful behind-the-scenes stories from the clinic's early days. Her answer? One that truly hits home.☺️

"In 2016, just after Father’s Day, Rui fit my dad with new hearing aids. He had terminal cancer and made a long journey on his own to get to our office—he was that excited for better hearing. That same day, we happened to have a photographer in the clinic taking staff photos, so we captured the moment. Those photos and that day mean the world to me."

If someone you love has been struggling with their hearing, don’t wait. We’re here to help. Let’s chat.🥰

Yvonne’s advice: Hearing aids aren’t a stigma. They’re a game-changer!🦻

They open up a world of sounds and conversations that can truly enhance your connections. And when it comes to speech therapy, embracing vulnerability is key! We’re here to support you every step of the way, with no judgment. Just progress and confidence building as you go.🥰

Continuing from last week’s post, we’re back with more valuable lessons we want to teach you!

🔹 Individualized therapy plans are everything: No two people are the same, and neither should their therapy plan be! Tailoring each session to the client’s unique needs is a game-changer; honestly, it’s the best way to see real progress.
🔹 The right environment can make or break progress: Did you know that things like background noise, acoustics, and lighting can seriously impact speech and hearing therapy outcomes? Creating the perfect setting is key.
🔹 Technology isn’t just a bonus; it’s a must: From FM systems to hearing aids, tech tools are total game-changers.

Stay tuned! We have more lessons coming your way as we celebrate 20 amazing years of helping people hear and speak their best!✨

Yvonne shares one of her fondest memories from the early days of HearSay: opening their first office! When Yvonne and Rui did the first build-out, they’d bring their toddlers and newborn daughters along. The little ones would play, watch movies, and fall asleep on their princess foam beds while they set up the office spaces. Those late-night drives home with the kids in the backseat are moments they’ll never forget.🥰

Another memory Yvonne cherishes is when her third daughter, Chloe, was just five days old. She made her way into the office, napping in her swing while Yvonne ran sessions or spoke to new clients.

It’s these moments of family, growth, and connection that make HearSay so special, shaping the care and dedication that we bring to our clients every day.✨

🌸 Happy International Women's Day! 🌸

Today, we celebrate the incredible women in our lives. Moms, daughters, friends, and mentors. Their strength, kindness, and contributions make the world a better place.🥰

For me, this day also brings to mind the powerful lessons I've learned as both a clinician and a female entrepreneur. It’s been so fulfilling to mentor the next generation of speech and audiology professionals and, more than anything, to make a real difference in the lives of the families we've worked with.

Let’s take a moment today to appreciate the women who inspire and support us and recognize how much they shape our world in the best possible ways! ✨
