Welcome to SLP4ALL!
Breaking Down Barriers is What We Do Best!
At SLP4ALL we are passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion. It is our mission to ensure ALL of our clients can participate in school, work and life free of barriers. You will begin your SLP4ALL service with a Speech Language Pathologist who will work with you to identity your learning and accessibility needs and will then create a treatment plan that outlines what skills and assistive technology tools you will need to learn to support your unique needs. You will then work with one of our team members to learn how to use your recommended assistive technology tools, using an approach that blends the technology with executive functions training and learning strategies skill development.

Assistive Technology for ALL!!!!
Did you know?
You might be wondering what makes assistive technology different from ‘everyday’ technology? The line has become quite blurred over the last 10 years as assistive technology has entered more and more into the mainstream .
In the past, assistive technology systems were big, clunky and prohibitively expensive. Not only that, but the systems were hard to learn and even more frustrating to use.
Thankfully, today’s technology is a completely different story! Most assistive technology tools are already built into the technology you are using.
Do you see people dictating their text messages, or using predictive text when typing? I bet you know people who use digital calendars and reminders with notifcations. And then there are eBooks and audiobooks, taking pictures of the teacher’s notes, digital online textbooks, etc. These are all assistive technology tools!
The world has finally caught on that assistive technology is beneficial for everyone!
