Since 2019, we’ve worked side by side... launching our intensive aphasia program, opening our clinics in Waterloo and Burlington, growing our families, and watching our kids become as close as cousins.

People ask us all the time how we make it work. The truth? It’s built on a shared vision and values, trust, collaboration, hard work, and a whole lot of laughs (and the occasional dance party).

Partnerships like this don’t happen every day, and we don’t take it for granted. 💛

✨ Transitions Part 2: Say it so they get it ✨

Ever tell your child “2 more minutes” and get… total meltdown when it’s time to stop?

Here’s the thing: time is abstract. But jumps, slides, songs, or turns? That’s something they can actually understand.

Instead of “2 more minutes,” try:
🟡 “2 more jumps”
🟢 “One more time down the slide”
🔵 “After this song, we’re all done”

These kinds of warnings are concrete, predictable, and easier for little brains to process. They help kids feel safe during transitions, and help you avoid the power struggles.

Try it out and let us know what works for your child!

This park is amazing… but how do we leave without a total meltdown? 🍦🚗

Leaving fun places is tough, especially when your child is all in on play.

One strategy that helps? A transition hierarchy: instead of going straight from high-fun to low-fun, we guide kids through steps that ease the shift.

This is a compassionate, collaborative approach grounded in both ABA and SLP strategies, meeting kids where they’re at and setting them up for success, not stress. 💛

We’re Shawna & Brittany — the co-founders of elemenoe, an interprofessional clinic offering speech therapy, ABA, and psychotherapy for children, youth, and families.

We built elemenoe with a shared vision: to provide neurodiversity-affirming care that’s grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-informed practice. We believe in working with families — building real relationships, following each child’s lead, and supporting meaningful progress through connection.

Our team includes speech-language pathologists, behaviour analysts, and psychotherapists who value teamwork, curiosity, and creating safe, inclusive spaces where all voices are heard.

Serving families in Kitchener-Waterloo, Burlington, Ontario 🇨🇦 and surrounding areas. ❤

We’re thrilled to share that Calm Guidance Counselling has joined Elemenoe in our Burlington clinic — and together, we’re building an inclusive, neuro-affirming space for children, youth and teens. ♥️

Families can now access SLP, ABA, and psychotherapy services under one roof — with new social groups for neurodiverse teens and youth with a psychotherapist.

It’s all about collaboration, connection, and compassionate care 💬💛

Transitions are tricky, but having the right tools can make them easier.
Whether it’s clean-up time or heading out the door, shifting gears is tough for many kids!

In this post, we’re sharing one of our favourite go-to strategies: using playful movement choices to ease the switch from one activity to the next. 🐰🐆

This weekend, we’re celebrating 4 years of Elemenoe and Evergreen! 🌲 🐘 🩷

What started as a shared vision has grown into a community built on collaboration, compassion, and care. We are so thankful for every family who has trusted us, every team member who’s brought their heart to this work, and everyone who has supported us along the way.

A heartfelt thank you to our own families - our husbands, our kids, and our loved ones - for standing by us and cheering us on through it all. 💛

We love what we do, and we’re just getting started.

Here’s to the next chapter! 🥂

She signed up for t-ball because her friends did. But when it was time to step onto the field, fear and anxiety took over.

This season wasn’t about t-ball. It was about showing up, even when it’s hard.

From ACT to ABA to SLP tools, I leaned on the collective wisdom of our team to support her through it.

The real win?
Resilience.
And we’re still swinging. ⚾💛
