Speech Therapy in Kitsilano, Vancouver

Kitsilano home visits. Online sessions are also available across British Columbia.

West End Speech offers therapy for Kitsilano children and adults. We work with families concerned about early language and with adults who want help with everyday or professional communication.

Home sessions can use the same toys, books, and routines your family already has. Practice can then carry into everyday activities, from getting ready for school to chatting on a walk along Kits Beach.

Early Language and Speech Support for Children

For children learning more than one language, we consider their language background when assessing communication. Therapy goals can focus on joining play, understanding instructions, or expressing ideas. Parents and caregivers learn ways to practice between sessions.

You may be wondering about first words, unclear speech, or a child who has difficulty explaining what they want. An assessment gives us a starting point for discussing those concerns. We can also help with French-language support and language understanding and expression.

Stuttering and Professional Communication

Adult services include accent modification and stuttering support. We can work on speaking situations that matter to you, such as a presentation, a phone call, or a conversation with a colleague.

You bring the priorities: being understood in a meeting, feeling more comfortable on a call, or working through a particular speaking task. We build practice around those situations and discuss strategies you can use between sessions, rather than asking you to fit your goals into a generic programme.

Local Practice Ideas

A couple of ideas for communication practice while you're out in the neighbourhood.

  • At Kits Beach, play I Spy and take turns describing what you have spotted.

  • After a visit to the Maritime Museum, ask your child to tell you about their favourite part.
