QUESTIONS

Are your services covered by my work's insurance plan or provincial plan?

Most insurance companies provide a set amount of speech therapy coverage per year per family member. My services are eligible to be covered by extended health plans for people in Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador and some Countries. I am licensed and registered with CASLPO and NLCHP. Please check with your employer or health care provider for your plan's specific coverage. Unfortunately, speech language therapy is not covered by OHIP (Ontario) or MCP (Newfoundland and Labrador)

How many sessions will it take for me to fix my speech or language problem?

Every person progresses at their own rate. And every person has individual needs with several factors to consider, including diagnosis, motivation, age, and severity of the difficulty. After an assessment, you will be provided with an expected timeline and indication of expected outcomes.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No, you do not need a referral in order to obtain speech language pathology (SLP) services. You may receive a recommendation to seek SLP help from from a doctor, psychologist, teacher, SLP, school or dentist, but it is not a requirement in order to begin treatment.
