With six years of experience in the field, I am dedicated to helping children develop their communication skills and reach their full potential. I hold a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Ottawa, where I graduated in 2019.
I specialize in a range of pediatric communication disorders, including Apraxia, articulation and phonology disorders, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), Autism Spectrum Disorder, cognitive-communication disorders, and language delays. My approach is child-centered, evidence-based, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each child.
I am passionate about creating engaging and supportive therapy environments that empower children and their families. My goal is to enhance communication skills, build confidence, and support long-term success.

Taylor began her career in 2013 as a speech and language assistant supporting children with communication needs—an experience that inspired her to pursue a career in speech-language pathology. She earned her Master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Alberta in 2017 and has been practicing as a Speech-Language Pathologist for the past eight years.
Taylor has experience working with children with a variety of communication needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, chromosomal abnormalities, speech sound delays/disorders, and language delays/disorders.
She has a special interest in articulation and phonology, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and helping children find confidence and joy in communication. Her therapy style is play-based, family-focused, and rooted in evidence-based practice. Taylor strives to make sessions engaging, collaborative, and responsive to each child’s unique strengths and interests.

Jessy is from the Philippines and worked as an Occupational Therapist in a school-based and community-rehab setting before coming to Canada around August 2021. She took Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physiotherapy Assistant program in Sault College in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario then moved here in Grande Prairie last January 2024 to work as an OT/PT Assistant.
With over a decade of experience working with children of diverse abilities and communication skills as a dedicated Program Aide, and a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA), I specialize in working alongside amazing therapists focusing on play-based and child centered approaches. My journey in this field began with my daughter being born with Down Syndrome, and later at MacEwan University where I studied Speech-Language Therapy. I then pursued further education at the University of Montana, obtaining an Associate in Applied Science Speech-Language Pathology (SLPA), with minors in Audiology and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
I have a passion for inclusion and advocacy of all abilities, I am committed to supporting diverse forms of communication and promoting a positive and accessible environment for every child. I believe in the power of play to unlock each child’s unique potential and strive to create meaningful, individualized strategies that celebrate every step of their journey.
