What sets our clinic apart?
Treatment at Persian Speech Clinic is result-oriented. Our clients and their families are given guidance to truly achieve notable positive outcomes from their therapy services. If our clients’ goals are not correct or realistic, they first get guidance to understand what goals they should seek in treatment and how to achieve results. We support our patients, their families, caregivers, and healthcare teams, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
In the majority of cases, treatment is creating fundamental changes in a human’s life, which is no easy task. There is a golden window of time in which this fundamental change is possible. If this golden time is missed and not used for any reason, creating these fundamental changes may not be possible or become more difficult to achieve.
At Persian Speech Clinic, early intervention is of the utmost importance to us, and we have been determined not to waste a day of a child or adult’s golden time. We do this by giving early appointment times, informing clients about the nature of treatment, using a family centered approach, and pushing our clients not to waste a single day.

About Our Team
Our passionate team has more than 30 years of experience in Speech Therapy.
Our group consists of Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP) and Communicative Disorders Assistants (CDA). We have expertise in working with both children and adults and are experienced in all areas of pathologies in the Speech Therapy field.
We feel proud of our education and professional careers in both the countries of Canada and Iran, and our mastery of both the cultures and languages of Farsi and English allows us to better understand and help our clients both Persian and English speaking. Our bilingual professionals are able to provide more accurate assessments across the two languages because assessing only one language of a bilingual individual, even if it is their dominant language, can not fully show their actual level of linguistic and cognitive skills or development. Having a bilingual Speech Therapist with knowledge and understanding of the consequences of bilingualism is very valuable and important in a resultful therapy journey.
We are determined to make a difference. Not only are we clinically accomplished but, most importantly, we are passionate about the lives we improve each day! We will be your partners in progress throughout the therapy journey and will celebrate wins with you along the way.
Sympathy, compassion, kindness, and ourability to connect with people of all ages and all walks of life gives us the potential to change lives.
