Our Values

GST

Life-long learning

Keeping up to date with research and brain-storming the best possible strategies for each child.

Holistic therapy

Make sure we see the whole picture - each child has a story and we need to know all the parts of their story so that we can work holistically.

Whole-hearted therapy

Committed to being present and giving our all for each child.

Team-focused

We are never alone when we work - all team-members are equally important - Parents, Teacher, OT, Audiologist, Dietician, Educational Psychologist - and deserve to have their say. We need to work as a team in order to determine what is best for the child.

Consistency

Children thrive on consistency, and so at GST we aim to meet those needs and provide children with a fun, safe and nurturing environment.

Child Neurology

Child neurology involves assessing and treating speech and language disorders related to neurological conditions. Children who have neurological impairments include: cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, dyslexia, down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder and neurological hearing impairments. Our goal is to develop the child’s communication skills using strategies tailored to their specific needs

Child Feeding

Child feeding therapy addresses difficulties related to eating, swallowing, and oral motor skills. Therapists work with children who may have aversions to certain foods, texture sensitivities, or challenges with chewing and swallowing. We provide strategies to improve a child’s feeding skills and promote healthy eating habits.

This service focuses on helping children pronounce words clearly and correctly. At GST we assess and treat articulation disorders. We work on sound production, clarity, fluency and overall speech intelligibility through targeted exercises, games, and activities to improve your child’s communication skills.

Happy Clients

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible impact our speech therapist has had on my daughter’s life. Under her guidance, my daughter has made remarkable progress—finding her voice, growing in confidence, and thriving in ways I once only hoped for. Her patience, kindness, and dedication are unmatched. She creates a safe and nurturing environment that brings out the best in every child, and her genuine care makes her feel like part of our family. I wouldn’t want anyone else to guide my daughter on this journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist. Thank you for transforming not just my daughter’s life, but ours as well—you are truly a gift!

Frequently Asked Questions

What age should my child be evaluated for speech therapy?

It’s beneficial to evaluate children if they show signs of speech or language delays, typically around age 2 to 3. However, earlier evaluations can be helpful if concerns arise. The earliest intervention is recommended to address speech, language and feeding difficulties as they arise so that there is minimal delay.

How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

Signs include your child having a limited vocabulary for their age, difficulty pronouncing words, trouble understanding instructions or following directions, difficulty communicating their needs, feeding difficulties, problems with social communication, or persistent stuttering.

What happens during a speech therapy session?

Sessions typically involve fun, engaging activities tailored to the child’s needs. Therapists may use games, storytelling, and interactive exercises to promote speech and language development. Therapy activities are dependent on the goals set by the therapist.

What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy focuses on helping children improve their speech, language, and communication skills. It addresses challenges such as speech delays, articulation issues, and language comprehension.
