We are incredibly fortunate to have two amazing NLA-trained SLPs on our team! Leah and Meera have both completed the course to support children who communicate with delayed echolalia (gestalt language processors). Leah has also completed levels 1 and 2 of Marge Blanc’s NLA courses. If you are located in Ontario, Canada and are looking for therapists who can support and honour your child’s communication style, we would love to hear from you!

Thank you for making me such an amazing mug that captures the values I hold. Presume competence: I assume an individual CAN. Everyone deserves a voice: any person with complex communication needs should be supported and given the tools to communicate. All brains are beautiful: neurodivergent brains are beautiful!!!
