Therapy Assistant 2 Go

Therapy Assistant 2 Go I offer in-person Therapy Assistant services to individuals and families in the Edmonton area. Virtual Therapy Assistant Services are also possible. Hi!

Let’s work together to make a difference in the lives of your loved ones! My name is Sharla Quantz and I am a Speech Therapy Assistant as well as an Occupational Therapy Assistant - it’s great to meet you! I offer support to private Speech Language Pathologists as well as Occupational Therapists, offering them therapy assistant services on a contract basis. I graduated in 2014 from Medicine Hat College, with my Therapy Assistant diploma majoring in Speech, I have my undergrad from University of Alberta in Linguistics. I have also taught Music for Young Children for 21 years - group music lessons for ages 2-12. I love incorporating elements of music into therapy sessions! I work short term contracts (think: treatment blocks) for SLPs or OTs who may be looking for help once in a while - freeing themselves up to possibly work on more complex cases, or however they would find my help useful for their private practice. I have designed posters for Social Skills classes, designed a registration form for a Social Skills camp, revamped and improved existing registration forms for an SLP, and worked simultaneously on OT and Speech goals for a client. In fact, I believe that the therapist/therapy assistant relationship has some fabulous potential when both partners manage their roles and work as a team. I value clear communication between treatment partners and their families. As some background, my practicum was spent six weeks in an Early Ed program and six weeks at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. I continued to volunteer as a communication partner at the Glenrose for the year following my practicum. I really enjoyed working with the adult population at the Glenrose, as I teach music to young kiddos and liked the change of pace. However, I would be open to working with clients of any age. I have a special interest in rehabilitation and brain injury recovery. I also have experience teaching English online for the last three and a half years, and have been working with some clients online during Covid-19 restrictions. So, the great news with that is, I can work with any speech or occupational therapist across Canada

Such a good analogy and something to keep in mind!

Such a good analogy and something to keep in mind!

Students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences are often walking around with trays that are already overloaded. They’re trying to balance sounds, spelling rules, directions, comprehension, and writing tasks all at the same time. It doesn’t take much for things to spill.

Good advice.

🧡 When we co-regulate with children, we’re not just calming the moment—we’re building their future. 🌱

✨ By guiding them through big emotions with patience and support, we help them develop the confidence and tools to self-regulate over time. 💪🧠

🤝 Regulation starts with us! Let’s teach, model, and nurture emotional growth together. 💖
