From first words to first stories—watching your child find their voice is an exciting journey!

Communication is about connection. As your little one grows, their ways to communicate and connect with others expand from using simple gestures to complex storytelling. Here is a look at a few of the exciting milestones we look for for early language development:

🌱 Age 1:
•First words begin to emerge
•Imitating sounds, words, and your daily actions
•Following simple, 1-step directions (like “get the ball”).

🌿 Age 2:
•Spoken vocabulary of 50+ words (often hitting 200-300!)
•Starting to bridge words into short, 2-word phrases
•Following 2-step directions (e.g., “pick up the shoe and put it by the door”)

🌳 Age 3:
•A spoken vocabulary of at least 250 words (averaging 1,000+)
•Sentences getting longer (3-4 words)
•Growing understanding of location words (under, together) and “Wh-“ questions

🌸Age 4:
•Spoken vocabulary growing into the thousands
•Longer, more grammatically correct sentences
•Telling more imaginative stories

☀️Remember: Every child’s path is unique. These milestones are “checkpoints,” not a race. If you ever have questions about your child’s specific journey, we’re here to help you navigate it with confidence.

Every child deserves support and every family deserves expertise they can trust. 🏔️✨

Are you wondering if we’re the right fit for your family? We support children with a wide range of communication goals, including:

🗣️ Speech Sounds: Helping children develop and use the sounds they need to communicate.

👂 Understanding Language (Receptive): Supporting how children process language, follow directions, and make sense of the world around them.

💬 Using Language (Expressive): Helping children use language to share their thoughts, needs, stories, and big ideas.

🌱 Early Language Skills: Guiding our littlest communicators (late talkers) as they take those exciting first steps toward connection.

No matter where your child is starting their journey, we’re here to provide inclusive, play-based, and evidence-based support tailored to them. 🌻

Hi! I’m Clara, and I’m a registered Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Peak Speech & Language Therapy! I am so grateful to be connecting with families in Canmore!✨

My goal is to create a space for children to grow their communication skills in meaningful ways and for families to have the guidance and support they need to navigate communication development. At Peak Speech & Language Therapy, we support children build the skills they need to connect with others, empower confidence in communicating, and inspire learning.

Speech therapy should be exciting—a space where play becomes progress. Where children are fully seen, heard, and valued as they are learning and growing their skills. Where families feel empowered to be active partners in their child’s communication journey.

I support children of all ages with diverse communication needs. I am deeply passionate about providing the connection-centered, research-backed, and meaningful speech therapy experiences for your family.

My specialized training includes:
⭐ Speech Sound Delays & Disorders
⭐ Childhood Apraxia of Speech (Assessment & Treatment)
⭐ Gestalt Language Processing & Natural Language Acquisition (NLA)
⭐ Play-based Therapy Approaches

Whether you are just starting to wonder about your child’s development or are looking for a dedicated partner in their communication development journey, I am here to help you navigate the path ahead.
I can’t wait to meet you!🏔️

When children feel supported and engaged, their communication thrives🌲

Here are our roots:
🤍 Family-Centered Care. Families are at the heart of our practice. We believe progress happens best when caregivers are empowered and involved! We partner with you to understand your goals and daily activities, creating functional goals that aim to have a meaningful impact on your child’s life.

🧸Play-Based Therapy. Where play becomes progress in communication growth. Play is a child’s natural way to explore the world, creating meaningful learning opportunities. We build communication skills through joyful, engaging activities that inspire confidence, creativity, and growth.

♾️ Neurodiversity-Affirming. We celebrate every child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and interacting with the world. Our approach honors neurodiversity by focusing on strengths and ensuring children feel respected, valued, and supported exactly as they are.

📚 Evidence-Based Practice. Our practices are grounded in research and staying up to date with current research in speech and language development. We combine research-based knowledge with clinical expertise and deep compassion to meet your child where they are and support their growth.

We are so proud to bring these values to the families of the Bow Valley! 🏔️
