Our Communication Essentials Package is designed to address a specific communication need while actively involving you, the caregiver. Some people need extra help in a specific area, such as pronouncing sounds more clearly, building early literacy skills, or expressing their needs. This package gives you the support and tools to make real progress together.

This service includes:

A communication assessment

  • An initial planning session with a speech-language pathologist
  • Seven 1-to-1 treatment sessions using goal-directed activities and caregiver coaching
  • Summary report with progress and next-step recommendations

There are two forms of delivery:

Direct work with a Speech-Language Pathologist

  • Support delivered by a Communication Disorder Assistant under the supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist

Speech pathology services can be purchased using your OAP funding, out-of-pocket, or other sources, including external philanthropic support, community-based funding programs, or private insurance. If you have any questions about the funding options available, please reach out to us at client.accounts@surreyplace.ca.
