Speech and Language Therapy helps people with a variety of communication or swallowing challenges. This can include children struggling with speech sounds or language development, adults with communication difficulties after a stroke, or individuals with swallowing problems. It's like physical therapy, but for talking, understanding, and eating. 

Speech-Language Therapists, also known as Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP's), work on improving speech clarity, language comprehension and expression, voice quality, fluency (e.g., stuttering), and even swallowing difficulties for individuals of all ages. They use a variety of techniques, including exercises, games, and strategies to help individuals improve their communication skills and overcome challenges. 

Speech-Language Pathologists are university graduates with a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology and are registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Manitoba (CASLPM).

Our Speech-Language Pathologists at Stable Connections utilize the movement of the horse to facilitate improved respiratory function, breath control, and oral-motor function. These effects are combined with standard speech and language intervention techniques to target articulation, fluency, and auditory processing. Using the natural environment, the therapist also addresses expressive language, receptive language, and social pragmatics.
