It is important that communication is internally driven, therefore when we target speech and language goals, we do this through activities that are motivating and meaningful to the client.
Speech is not just about what happens in the mouth! With this in mind, movement, sensory experiences and play with preferred toys and games are incorporated into our therapy sessions. We use evidence based practice and clinical reasoning when developing our treatment plans. We are pleased to offer a number of treatment tools, strategies and approaches, as appropriate, as part of your child's treatment.
Family involvement is encouraged and is an important component of our intervention plans.

We use evidence based practice and clinical reasoning when choosing feeding therapy treatment approaches. Our feeding therapy sessions provide positive experiences and interactions with foods, encouraging clients to explore the foods in a playful way. The sessions consider each client's unique learning style, sensory and motor differences and history with feeding challenges.
Sessions focus on increasing a child's awareness and exploration of a variety of food properties, including texture, temperature, color, smell, appearance, shape and taste. In addition, children are taught to be comfortable with small changes being made to foods presented. This is particularly helpful in addressing challenging feeding behaviors such as only eating one specific brand of cookie, or only eating with a specific fork. We focus on developing a healthy, lifelong, positive relationship with food.

Speech Language Pathology in Motion is pleased to offer intensive treatment programs upon request. Each intensive treatment program is individually tailored to best meet the needs of the patient. Suggested times to consider adding intensive programs are:
- During a disruption in school based services (i.e. summer break) to keep your child moving forward and prevent regression of skills.
- During a "growth spurt" when your child seems to be acquiring new language quickly.
- During times when your child is making slow or limited progress to give him/her a boost.
Patients who are not currently receiving therapy with us will need to complete an initial evaluation in order for us to develop a treatment plan before participating in one of our intensive programs
