Elaine is a bilingual (French and English) registered Speech-Language Pathologist who has worked with children and adolescents with varied speech and language challenges since receiving her Masters of Health Sciences in 2002 from the Université d’Ottawa. She has worked for over 20 years in the areas of social communication, articulation and motor speech, language disorders and selective mutism. After more than 10 years at the Children’s Treatment Centre (now part of CHEO), a few years on the Quebec side working children and adults, Elaine has finally landed with Key to Speech to pursue her passions of emerging language, childhood language and articulation and parent coaching. She has extensive education and experience in early language development using parent coaching Hanen programs (she is certified in all of them!) as well as being PROMPT certified for motor speech disorders. Elaine is dedicated to continuing education (including supervising CDA and SLP students!) and providing families with child-centred care.
