Play-based speech therapy
for children in Calgary


Helping your child communicate through connection, play, and parent coaching

How I can support your child

  • In-home or sensory gym sessions

  • Child-led, play-based therapy

  • Neurodiversity-affirming approach

  • Parent coaching built into every session

Welcome to Focus on Fun Speech Therapy

I’m a speech-language pathologist based in Calgary, offering in-person sessions for children in your home or in my therapy space which includes a sensory gym to support regulation and engagement.

I’m a kid at heart and love connecting, playing , and problem-solving alongside the children I work with.

I take a child-led, play-based approach that is neurodiversity-affirming and tailored to your child’s unique needs, so therapy feels meaningful, natural, and fun.

Parent coaching is a key part of my work. You’ll be supported to take an active role in sessions and carry over strategies into everyday routines.

Is this your child?

You might be wondering if your child needs support…

  • Not talking yet or using only a few words

  • Using scripts or repeated phrases (e.g., from TV shows)

  • Having trouble expressing needs, wants, and ideas

  • Getting frustrated when trying to communicate

  • Struggling with social communication or interaction

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. You’re not alone - and there is support available.
