At HSLS, we specialize in working with preschool and school-age clients who need support to communicate effectively or be better understood by others in their lives. Support tends to look different for each client, depending on their individual goals. Erin and Jen are both certified Hanen (TM) leaders. We want to help clients:
Use language (verbal, gestural, visual, or AAC) to express their needs, wants, and ideas with others
Use accurate speech sounds so others understand them more easily
Understand and follow directions, ask and answer questions, and successfully interpret the world around them
Understand social situations and advocate for themselves for more successful interactions with others
Our S-LPs also have experience supporting clients who have motor planning, fluency (stuttering), voice, and other developmental challenges. Therapy may be provided at our Humboldt or Wadena office locations. Alternatively, arrangements can be made to provide therapy at your home or childcare centre, if preferred. Online support is now available for consultation, follow-up, and practice sessions between in-office visits!
