about
Founded by Liza Selvarajah, Montreal Speech Therapy was created to empower families by equipping them with personalized treatment plans that meet each individual's unique needs in their most natural contexts, by putting cultural identity and social advocacy at the forefront.
At Montreal speech therapy, we are passionate about mentorship and reducing harm by mitigating power dynamics, centering critical thinking, discussing the role of bias and uplifting the voices of the populations we serve.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's speech, please send us an email at info@montrealspeechtherapy.ca
