Every child’s speech journey looks a little different. Some children are easy to understand right away, while others need extra time and support to get their words flowing clearly. If your child is experiencing a speech delay, you may notice things like:

• Hard-to-understand speech – you or others often need to guess what they’re saying.
  
  

• Sound mix-ups – for example, saying “tat” for cat or “wun” for run.
  
  

• Skipped sounds or syllables – words might sound shorter, like “nana” for banana or “no” for snow.
  
  

• Tricky sounds – certain sounds like “sh,” “th,” or “ch” might not come easily.
  
  

• Frustration when not understood – your child may feel upset if people don’t “get” what they’re trying to say.
  With the right support, children can learn to use their voices clearly and confidently.

At Unbounded Speech & Language, I provide play-based speech therapy in Bragg Creek, Cochrane, and surrounding areas that meets children where they are. Sessions are fun, engaging, and tailored to your child’s unique learning style—whether we’re working on specific sounds, building confidence, or finding new ways to communicate with ease. My goal is to make everyday interactions more enjoyable and less stressful for both kids and parents. 

Some children take their time when it comes to talking — and that’s okay. While every child develops at their own pace, sometimes a little extra support can help those first words blossom into meaningful conversations. Children between 18 months and 3 years who aren’t yet using as many words as expected are often called late talkers.

At Unbounded Speech & Language, I offer early language therapy for late talkers in Bragg Creek, Cochrane, and surrounding areas. Sessions focus on creating the right conditions for language to grow—through play, connection, and everyday interactions. I work closely with parents to build practical, easy-to-use strategies that fit naturally into your routines, helping your child learn to connect, share, and express themselves with confidence.

As children grow and enter school, their language skills become the foundation for learning, friendships, and confidence. Sometimes kids need a little extra help putting sentences together, telling stories, following directions, or finding the right words to share their thoughts—these challenges are often called language delays.

At Unbounded Speech & Language, I provide language therapy for school-age children in Bragg Creek, Cochrane, and surrounding areas. Support at this stage is about more than words—it’s about helping children feel capable, understood, and connected. Using playful, engaging activities and strategies that carry over into the classroom and home, I help kids strengthen their communication skills in ways that feel natural and motivating.

With the right support, children can build confidence, express themselves more clearly, and thrive both in school and beyond.

Before children learn to read, they need the building blocks of literacy—skills like hearing the differences between sounds in words, playing with rhymes, clapping out syllables, and recognizing the first, middle, and last sounds in words. These early literacy skills, known as phonological awareness, form the foundation for confident reading and spelling.

At Unbounded Speech & Language, I offer early literacy and phonological awareness support for children in Bragg Creek, Cochrane, and nearby areas. Some children need extra guidance building these skills, especially if reading doesn’t come easily or if there’s a family history of learning differences or reading disorders. Through playful activities, stories, songs, and games, I help children strengthen these reading readiness skills in a way that feels fun and motivating.

Early support makes a big difference—when children feel confident and excited about sounds and words, they carry that success with them into school and beyond.

Social communication is about connection—not about “fixing” your child. Using a neurodiversity-affirming approach, I recognize that your child’s way of interacting is valid and meaningful. Often, challenges in social connection don’t come from a child “lacking skills,” but from differences in communication styles between them and the people around them.

In therapy, I create safe, supportive opportunities for your child to share ideas, play, and connect in ways that feel natural to them—while also helping those around them learn how to better understand and respond. Together, we’ll build strategies that strengthen relationships, celebrate your child’s authentic self, and bring more joy into communication.

My approach is always collaborative. I work alongside you and your child to explore how they choose to participate and engage with others, while supporting them in advocating for their own needs and preferences.
