Speech-Language Pathologists.

Ashleigh Wishen

"What I love about being a speech-language pathologist is working with individuals with ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) and the opportunity to be welcomed into a client’s world. I love working with clients and their families, developing functional goals and embarking on the rehabilitation journey together. I am inspired by their ongoing strength and motivation, and their will to re-build their life. I learn from my clients every day and feel fortunate to have developed the relationships that I have — they are the reason I chose this career path and have never looked back."

Carla Montgomery

"I am inspired by the clients and families that I work with. Their determination, unique way of approaching therapy, and humour (even when times are difficult) inspire me as a person and therapist. I am grateful that this job allows me to meet so many wonderful people – clients, their family, and other team members."

Claudia Correia

"What I love about being a speech-language pathologist working with clients with ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) is making a positive difference in their lives after they have gone through so much difficulty."

Jana Zalmanowitz

"What I love about being a speech-language pathologist is the opportunity to be creative. No two people I see are the same; therefore they each deserve their own specialized program. Blending treatment goals and techniques with a child or adult’s individual interests keeps my job different and exciting. One minute I may be working on grammar using a race car themed activity, the next I might be making play-dough to work on vocabulary. It all depends on what keeps my clients interested!"

Nisha Balakrishna

"I absolutely love being a speech-language pathologist. I wake up each morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen, for I have chosen to tread on a noble path! I love the day-to-day challenges and satisfaction while working to empower individuals to communicate. My clients inspire me to work hard, to learn and to do my best to maximize their communication potential."

Suzanne Bassett

"What I love about being a speech-language pathologist is sharing the moments of success with the clients, whether it’s someone gaining new expression in their voice or someone with a brain injury beginning to enjoy reading for pleasure again."

Bhavi Kapadia

"I cannot describe how passionate I am about what I do! Speech, language and communication are a set of skills we take for granted. Individuals that do not gain these skills as readily come to SLPs for support. The act of talking is the most important, yet functional, aspect of a human being’s life. The change we make in helping individuals with these skills is the most rewarding, yet blissful, thing I have ever felt!"

Amanda Libenson

"What I love about being an SLP is working together with parents to help their children make improvements that go beyond the therapy room to help them communicate better at home and school. I also love being creative and using what my clients enjoy to make therapy fun!"
