...because communication matters! 

Carmen Martino, Speech-Language Pathologist in Oakville provides comprehensive assessment and therapy services designed to support individuals with a wide range of communication needs. Her practice encompasses brain injury recovery, cognitive communication challenges, motor speech disorders such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech, articulation and language and literacy development. Therapy plans are tailored to empower individuals to achieve their communication goals and improve their quality of life.

communication involves:

• listening: understanding and remembering what you hear. 

• speaking: speech sounds, voice, use of words and sentences.

• reading: understanding words and sentences; understanding texts, emails,  news articles and textbooks.   

• writing: knowing how to write words and sentences and putting them in a text, email, or a story that makes sense.  

• thinking:  all those "foundation" skills that help us with all of our other skills, like attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving.   

• social language: understanding and using verbal and non-verbal language effectively.
