Helping Children Find Their Voice, In Every Form It Takes
Speech Language Pathology for Kids in North Vancouver
What Is Speech Language Pathology (SLP)?
Also known as speech therapy, speech-language pathology helps children express themselves clearly, confidently, and in their own way. From first words to social conversations, it builds the tools kids need to connect with the world around them.
​
At Little Peak Therapy, our SLPs support everything from sound production and vocabulary to alternative communication and social skills. Every session is playful, personalized, and rooted in connection—because communication isn’t just about words, it’s about being understood.
Building Communication Through Connection and Care
At Little Peak Therapy, we believe communication is about more than just words—it’s about connection. Whether your child is just beginning to speak, having trouble being understood, or exploring new ways to express themselves, our speech-language pathologists are here to help.
​
We support children in building the skills they need to:
​
-
Share their thoughts
-
Ask questions
-
Tell stories
-
Engage with the world around them
And we do it all through play, curiosity, and encouragement—not pressure.
​
Sometimes, progress means clearer speech. Other times, it looks like learning to take turns in conversation or using tools like picture boards or AAC devices. However your child communicates, we meet them there—with personalized, neurodiversity-affirming care.
We focus on communication that is:
​
-
Joyful and engaging
-
Developmentally appropriate
-
Respectful of individual differences
-
Guided by your child’s unique pace and interests
