Welcome to Beluga Speech Services
Supporting the whole family in the journey towards a child developing their voice.
At Beluga Speech Services, our mission is to provide:
Evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies delivered through customized treatment programs. Fun and functional activities to suit the specific interests and needs of each child, provided within a warm and encouraging atmosphere that fosters self-confidence in communication. Family-oriented treatment planning, including parent education and home program activities.
-
Assessment
An initial assessment session is typically one hour in length, but may extend into subsequent appointments depending on the age and abilities of your child.
-
Therapy
Therapy sessions are generally 45 minutes long, but can be scheduled for 30 or 60 minutes as needed. Therapy sessions are typically scheduled once per week, but the frequency depends on the needs and wishes of the family.
-
Parent Training
Parents can request appointments aimed at providing them with the tools and strategies they need to directly assist their child in achieving their communication goals at home.
-
Collaboration
A request can be made to share client goals, progress and recommendations with other professionals (i.e. teachers, family doctor, school board speech therapist, etc.) by phone or teleconference.
-
Home Visits
Assessment and therapy services can be provided in the client’s home, in cases where physical mobility is an issue. Additional travel charges may apply.
-
Report Writing
Assessment results and recommendations can be provided to parents in a formal written report and shared with other professionals on a child’s healthcare or school team.
Roughly one in 10 children need additional support in developing speech and language skills.
Children begin communicating from the time they are born. From an incredibly young age, they learn to understand what you are saying and to develop their own speech and language skills. These communication skills support them in building relationships and developing literacy. Down the road, these skills become the foundation for future academic and vocational ambitions.
Without this extra help, these children may struggle to listen and speak, learn to read and write, and play with their peers.
