Covid-19 has created significant changes to the way we work and live. In support of our community, our health and our well-being we have all had to make adaptations. In response, I am able to provide:   

  • Online screenings

  • Online comprehensive, standardized assessments

  • Covid-careful therapy sessions

In short, our wonderful work has adapted! Rigorous research and support from the RCSLT, ASLTIP and HCPC has ensured that standardized assessments are not compromised and therapists are keeping you and themselves as safe as possible
