A Speech, Language and Swallowing Pathologist assesses, diagnoses and treats all forms of speech, language, voice, communication, cognition and swallowing difficulties. The role of the SLSP is to work with the client and their family to provide an assessment and treatment for speech, language, voice, communication, cognition and swallowing difficulties, which will improve the client’s integration into school, work and / or their home environment.
Occupational therapists work with clients who have sustained an injury or who have an underlying condition or disability. Daily occupations such as Activities of Daily Living (“ADLs”) (e.g. dressing, grooming, bathing, using the toilet, play, schoolwork, etc) are used as a therapeutic medium. OTs assist clients to recover, develop and improve skills or compensatory strategies needed for work, play, school work and daily living.
“Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.” (World Federation of Occupational Therapy, 2012)
If an assessment was conducted within the past six (6) months, the assessment report can still be used as it can still provide an accurate representation of the client’s clinical presentation. However, at times, our therapist might require you or your family member to repeat an assessment or conduct other assessments to gain clarity of the clinical presentation and to formulate the best treatment plan. These are the circumstances where reassessment might be required:
A therapy treatment plan can vary in duration, as each client is unique and will respond differently to therapy. It will depend on the condition and the client. We look at each case individually and work with you and your family to provide the best treatment possible. Our therapist will be able to give you an estimation of how long the treatment program may take. Progress is monitored throughout the process to evaluate whether the estimated time for therapy is sufficient.
Each therapy treatment plan is highly individualized to each client. The treatment plan will address a client’s and / or caregiver’s needs, difficulties and concerns.
A treatment plan may include:
The frequency and duration of therapy will be dependent on the client’s condition, level of arousal, level of endurance and concentration. On average, a therapy session will be 45 minutes long, although this can vary.
Our therapist will be able to advise you on how many sessions of therapy may be required, based on their initial assessment. Every person is different and some make rapid progress, while others may take more time. Progress is monitored during each therapy session. Discharge planning will be discussed with the client and/or caregiver to ensure that goals have been achieved.

We provide both one-on-one and group therapy sessions. A group therapy session has a minimum of two (2) clients and a maximum of five (5) clients. Our therapist will decide whether a client would benefit from group therapy or not. Groups are formed with clients who have similar difficulties and needs, to ensure the group therapy is maximally beneficial to all group participants.

“Q Enrichment Center has “A brilliant speech therapist she single handily helped me overcome the difficulties of dysphagia. Her work truly is a vocation, her desire for me to make a full recovery was just as strong if not stronger than my own. By far the best therapist I was fortunate enough to deal with.”
