Services
Stepping Stones offers both in-person and virtual services to meet the needs of your family.
Counselling
Counselling provides families with education, guidance, and emotional support. It helps address the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that may arise from communication delays or disorders, fostering understanding and confidence throughout the therapy process.
Assessment
Each assessment is tailored to your child’s age and needs. It may look at understanding and use of language, speech sounds, fluency, voice, play skills, social communication, and early literacy. Sessions typically range from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the areas being assessed.
Therapy
Therapy sessions are designed around your child’s individual goals identified during the assessment. Each session is personalized to support meaningful progress in communication skills. Sessions typically last 45 minutes, with 30- or 60-minute options available based on your child’s needs.
Collaboration
At Stepping Stones, collaboration is key. Bhavi works closely with physicians, audiologists, occupational therapists, resource consultants, literacy tutors, educators, schools, and other professionals in the community — including those connected through the Preschool Speech and Language Program at Royal Victoria Hospital — to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care for each child.
