Cheryl D. Lindsay Speech & Language Services
Speech-Language Pathology Services for Children, Teens & Adults
Our Speech-Language Pathologists provide personalized speech and language assessments and evidence-based treatment to help every client communicate with greater confidence. Services are available from our Durham and Listowel clinics, as well as in homes, schools and community settings, depending on your needs.
Personalized Speech and Language Support Close to Home
Finding the right communication support shouldn't mean travelling hours or navigating the process alone.
Cheryl D. Lindsay Speech & Language Services provides individualized assessment and treatment for children and adults across the lifespan throughout Grey-Bruce and surrounding communities.
Led by Cheryl D. Lindsay, M.Sc., S-LP, Reg. CASLPO, our team of Speech-Language Pathologists and Communicative Disorders Assistants works closely with clients, families, educators and other professionals to provide evidence-based assessment and treatment that is individualized for every client.
Every client brings different strengths, challenges and goals. Our services are shaped around the individual—not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
