Frequently asked
questions
Are there COVID-19 protocols in place at your clinics?
Yes! Please check out our COVID-19 Protocols page for more info.
Are your services covered by my insurance plan or OHIP?
Most insurance companies provide a set amount of speech therapy coverage per year per family member. Our services are eligible to be covered by your health plan as we are registered with CASLPO. Please check with your employer or health care provider. Unfortunately, speech therapy is not covered by OHIP.
I don’t think I have any speech issues but I have been told I do. Can you help?
Absolutely! Sometimes it’s difficult to self-monitor, which means you may not be able to hear your own speech errors. We will lend our professional expertise to help determine if an actual impediment exists and how best to address it.
Where are you located?
We have 3 clinics: One is located in Roncesvalles Village (“Roncy”), another is in Trinity Bellwoods, and our newest clinic is at Yonge & College (above College Station). Please see Contact Page for addresses & maps.
How many sessions will it take for me to be able to speak clearly?
Every person has individual needs and progresses at different rates. There are several factors to consider, including diagnosis, motivation, age, and severity of impediment. After an assessment, we will be able to provide a more accurate timeline and a better indication of expected outcomes.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No, you do not need a referral in order to receive speech therapy services. You may receive a recommendation from a physician, dentist, psychologist, or school, but it isn’t a requirement in order to begin treatment.
I’m not tech-savvy. Can I still do Online Therapy?
Absolutely! Our secure online platform is super-easy to use. Our knowledgeable therapists will happily guide you through it. Please check out our Online Therapy page.
Is my child too young for Speech services?
Parents have a great intuition about their child’s development. If you have any concerns about their progress in the areas of speech and language, it’s never too early to speak with a Speech Therapist. We can provide you with information on developmental milestones as well as strategies to help facilitate speech and language development. You may also want to check out Speech and Language Delays for Infants & Toddlers.
Do you travel to us?
We currently provide In-Home services for parts of Scarborough, Markham, Vaughan, Mississauga, Etobicoke, and Downtown Toronto. There are additional fees for In-Home visits.
