Services

Assessment and Treatment

I offer virtual therapy for children 4 years and older struggling with speech sound disorders such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and Articulation Disorders.

These are children who may:

  • have difficulty producing a specific sound (e.g. R or S)
  • substitute one sound with another (e.g. T for K - as in "tootie" for "cookie")
  • sound unclear or "slushy" in their speech
  • struggle to make their speech understood - particularly with unfamiliar listeners.

Referrals and Fees

A doctor’s referral is not necessary for services at my clinic. Service fees for individual and group therapy, as well as parent training are often covered by private health insurance companies. Payment is accepted by electronic transfer following each session. An official receipt will be issued, and this receipt can be submitted to your health plan coverage. Note, some private health insurance plans require a doctor’s referral. Please contact your provider directly to inquire about their requirements.

About

Hello there!

I'm Tali Kellerstein, Speech-Language Pathologist, Author, Speaker and Founder.

​After graduating with my M.H.Sc. from the University of Toronto, I practiced for a decade as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the (Motor) Speech program at The Speech and Stuttering Institute (SSI), where I gained extensive experience treating children with moderate-severe motor speech disorders.

In 2015, I began to work full-time at my home-based clinic. I am dedicated to working with children with Speech Sound Disorders including Childhood Apraxia of Speech and have completed extensive additional training in these areas including PROMPT Certification (2013) and the Apraxia Kids Bootcamp (2021). In January 2022, I was Recognized by Apraxia Kids for Advanced Training in Childhood Apraxia of Speech. At my clinic, I provide virtual assessment and therapy for children four years and older with difficulty in areas of articulation, phonology, and motor speech.

In 2020, I launched my Party Animals! product line.

My practice is dedicated to helping children with speech sound disorders communicate clearly, and empowering their adults to support them. Follow me on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and read my blog for endless therapy tips and ideas.

I live in Toronto with my husband Dave, and our two spectacular kids Josh and Eden.

Thank you for stopping by. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Speaking Engagements

I have worked almost exclusively with kindergarten and school aged children with speech-sound disorders since she became an S-LP in 2005. My passion for this area of the field propelled me to complete intensive training for motor speech disorders and Childhood Apraxia of Speech, including PROMPT Certification and the Apraxia Kids Bootcamp.

I enjoy sharing techniques and resources to help enhance children's speech skills.

Presentation fees vary according to several factors. Please contact me directly to explore options for your organization.
