Speech therapy for Laval families
Clinically reviewed by Kimberly Martins, M.A. CCC-SLP
Our clinic isn't in Laval, but it's close: just across the Rivière des Prairies, 15 to 20 minutes from most Laval neighbourhoods via Highway 15. We also see Laval families at home or online, in English, French and several other languages.
A city of many languages
Laval is changing. In the 2021 census, just over half of Laval residents had French as their mother tongue, and more than a third had a mother tongue other than French or English, up from about one in six in 2001. Chomedey has the highest share of immigrants in the city. Arabic, Spanish, Armenian and Greek are among the languages most often spoken at home.
For children, that often means growing up with two or three languages: one at home, French at school, sometimes English with friends. That doesn’t cause delays. But a fair assessment has to take every language into account. Our clinicians work in English and French, and several also speak languages common in Laval.

Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau. The closest area to our clinic: the Lachapelle Bridge or Highway 15 brings you to Ahuntsic-Cartierville in minutes.
Chomedey and Sainte-Dorothée. Highway 15 South, or Highway 13 and then Highway 40 East. See also our article on communication development in Chomedey.

How we can help
Common questions
Do you have a clinic in Laval?
No. Our only clinic is at Marché Central in Montréal, just across the Rivière des Prairies. For most Laval families it's 15 to 20 minutes via Highway 15. We also offer in-home sessions in Laval and online sessions.
Can therapy be in English?
Yes. Our clinicians work in English and French, and some also speak Arabic, Spanish, Armenian, Greek or Portuguese, languages often spoken in Laval.
Should we wait for the CLSC or start privately?
You can do both. Public waiting lists for speech therapy can be long. Many families keep their place on the public list while they start with us, and we share reports with your permission when public services begin.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can contact us directly. We provide receipts for private insurance.
