What Makes Us Different?

We have been recognized by the Ontario government as a “Centre of Training and Development.” This is a result of the Institute’s many years of conducting research to inform our evidence-based speech and stuttering therapy programs. This designation means that the Government is relying on our Institute to help create speech and stuttering guidelines and train speech language pathologists in Toronto and across the Province of Ontario.

What does that mean for you? You have the opportunity to receive speech therapy from the professionals who are teaching SLPs throughout Ontario.

Our Mission

The mandate of The Speech & Stuttering Institute is three-fold: To provide clinical service, to educate and train professionals throughout the province, and to engage in cutting edge research to unearth the root causes of speech related challenges in order to find the most effective treatment methods.

Our Speech Team

Our speech clinicians are trained in the PROMPT system (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets), which has been found to be an effective tool for the treatment of motor speech disorders. Several clinicians are also Hanen Certified.
