Please join us in welcoming Arzoo to the team!

Arzoo started her journey towards being a registered speech language pathologist as a volunteer with Advantage Speech Language Pathology Ltd. back in grade 12. Working as an SLP assistant and earning a Bachelor’s degree in Speech Sciences from UBC later, she completed her Master’s in Speech Language Pathology from University of Alberta in the summer of 2025.

During her graduate school experiences, Arzoo has been involved with the Alberta Aphasia Camp and chairing the Speech and Hearing Month committee with her MSc program. She has worked in a specialized preschool setting (Providence Child Development Society), providing therapy for children with genetic conditions, hearing impairments, autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and mental health conditions. She has also worked in various inpatient units at a few hospitals in Alberta providing support for individuals with dysphagia, aphasia, and cognitive-communication disorders.

She values advocacy, outreach, and providing therapy through neurodiverse-affirming, trauma-informed, and family-centred approaches.

Arzoo is passionate about working with gestalt language processors, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), speech sound development, early language acquisition, dysphagia, aphasia, and cognitive-communication disorders.

When Arzoo isn’t working, you can catch her playing volleyball, running, attending spin classes, making art, and trying out different restaurants.

We are thrilled to welcome back Arzoo as a SLP. She started off many years ago as a high school volunteer, then was an assistant before she went to grad school. The client will love her energy.

All the best on this exciting new chapter, Arzoo — we’re so lucky to have you! 💙

Welcome to the team, SLP-A, Aline!

Aline is a Brazilian-trained Speech-Language Pathologist with over 10 years of experience working with children — a field she is truly passionate about. She specializes in language and communication, dysphagia, feeding difficulties, orofacial myofunctional therapy, and early intervention.

Aline holds a master's degree and additional training in Brazil, and she values play-based, individualized, and evidence-based care.

She is also interested in supporting SLPs working with bilingual (Portuguese/English) children, understanding the unique challenges of multilingual development."

We’re thrilled to have you on board and can't wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish with us.

Today is International LGBTQ+ Pride Day 🌈 a moment to honour the strength, love, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride month is more than a celebration. It’s a call for inclusion, visibility, and equity for all. This month, and every month, we stand alongside those advocating for a world where everyone can be proud of who they are, without barriers.

It’s also important to recognize that Pride is deeply meaningful for people with disabilities. Many individuals belong to both communities, and they deserve to be fully included.

Let’s work together to break down the barriers that still exist and ensure that Pride truly includes everyone.
