Sarah Jones,
Speech-Language Pathologist
I am a graduate of Western University’s Master of Clinical Science (Speech-Language Pathology) program, and Brock University’s Applied Linguistics (Speech and Language Sciences) program. As a neurodivergent person myself, I strive to create a therapy environment which is relationship-centered, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming, while helping families feel empowered and supported on their unique journeys.
My Story
My passion lies particularly in early intervention and working with emerging complex communicators and Autistic children. I also have experience and strong interest in articulation/phonology, feeding/picky eating, and literacy difficulties. I firmly believe in all of us being on a life-long learning journey with room to grow, and working collaboratively with families
to discover how to best support their child.
When not doing *all the things* S-LP, you can find me on the yoga mat, reading a good book in my hammock, or enjoying nature with my dogs.
