About Us
Set your child up for a lifetime of great communication and healthy relationships! If your child is experiencing an issue with communication - whether it be mild, moderate, or severe - we want to help. You and your child will enjoy fun & interactive sessions while tackling communication challenges.
Talk Together provides evidence-based & accessible speech-language therapy and social skills groups for children between the ages of 0-18 years and their families. Support is provided for all types of communication challenges including language, speech, listening, social skills, reading, writing & spelling. Not addressed, these challenges change the trajectory of children's lives.
None of us take for granted the privilege it is to be let into kid's lives and be a part of their communication journey - they are why we do what we do.
Our Services
WE OFFER OUR SERVICES TO CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 0-18
Tele-therapy or in-person sessions are an individually crafted program for your child conducted at a frequency that will suit your family.
These groups support kids to develop communication skills, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and strategies for managing anxiety with a focus on how to form friendships and maintain them. All while having fun!
We understand that attending an in-person therapy session can be burdensome on busy families and so we offer tele-therapy for convenience and flexibility.

Social Skills Groups 10-13years
This is the age where things get complicated! There is often a need to 'read the social scene' in situations that in the past were very 'black & white'. Our focus here is a smooth transition for kids through this phase and robust skills for making friends and 'keeping up' with the social challenges faced while building self-confidence.
