Speech Therapy Services in Val-d'Or

The speech therapy services at Clinique Passage in Val-d’Or combine comprehensive evaluations and personalized therapy adapted to every stage of life. Our speech-language pathologists use a strengths-based approach centred on each client to build an intervention plan that produces tangible results.

Speech Therapy for Children and Teens

A child who has difficulty being understood, imitating the right sounds and expressing themselves in complete sentences can benefit from speech therapy. In Val-d’Or, our speech-language pathologists offer sessions adapted to toddlers and school-age children, with hands-on activities that stimulate oral language development. Intervention also covers skills related to reading, writing and following classroom instructions.

Language Disorder and Speech Sound Disorder

When speech or language difficulties persist beyond the typical developmental stages, a speech-language assessment identifies the nature of the concern. Our speech-language pathologists determine whether a language disorder or a speech sound disorder is present, then set therapeutic goals suited to the child’s individual profile.

An evaluation of language-based learning disorders (dyslexia, dysorthographia) is also available.

Support for Teens

The transition to high school brings new demands in structured writing, complex text comprehension and idea organization in both spoken and written form. Our speech-language pathologists design interventions aligned with these academic realities to equip teens for the expectations of CEGEP or entry into the workforce.

Speech Therapy for Adults

An adult looking to regain language abilities after a stroke, maintain word retrieval for a person living with Alzheimer’s, or speak publicly with confidence despite persistent stuttering: our speech-language pathologists support adults at every step. Voice disorders and social communication difficulties are also among the services available in Val-d’Or.

Specialized Speech Therapy Services in Val-d'Or

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autistic individuals communicate in many ways — through words, gestures, drawings or augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools. In Val-d'Or, our speech-language pathologists develop intervention plans that respect each person's mode of expression. The goal is not to impose a single model but to strengthen the person's ability to be understood and to interact in their environment.

Stuttering and Cluttering

Stuttering goes well beyond syllable repetitions or mid-sentence blocks. It affects self-confidence, social interactions and career choices. Our speech-language pathologists hold specialized expertise in stuttering. Sessions are offered in clinic in Val-d'Or or through online speech therapy for clients in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and elsewhere in Québec.

Dyslexia and Dysorthographia

Recurring spelling errors, noticeably slow reading or frequent letter confusion can signal dyslexia or dysorthographia. Our speech-language pathologists conduct a thorough evaluation of written language skills, identify the mechanisms in difficulty and propose targeted intervention goals. Developing compensatory strategies is also part of the therapeutic plan to help the young person function better in a school setting.

Institutional and Educational Services

Clinique Passage works in partnership with daycares (CPEs), schools and school service centres in Abitibi-Témiscamingue to provide institutional speech therapy services. Working within the child's daily environment makes it possible to observe communication challenges where they actually occur and to adapt strategies accordingly.

Support for Indigenous Communities in Abitibi-Témiscamingue

Clinique Passage provides culturally relevant speech therapy support to Indigenous families, directly in schools, daycares and Indigenous friendship centres. Our speech-language pathologists also assist families with the steps related to Jordan's Principle and the Inuit Child First Initiative to facilitate access to funding.

Online Speech Therapy: Services Across Québec

Receiving quality speech therapy without travelling is made possible through online speech therapy. Sessions take place on a secure platform where the speech-language pathologist presents visual materials and guides parents in real time. For families living in remote communities in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer at-home consultations, this format often represents the most practical way to maintain regular follow-up. Online speech therapy services are considered as effective as in-person services for many conditions.

Why Choose a Private Speech Therapist in Val-d'Or

Finding the right private speech therapist for your family deserves careful thought. Several elements distinguish Clinique Passage from other services available in the region.

Rooted in Abitibi-Témiscamingue

Clinique Passage is not a big-city clinic serving the region from a distance. Founded by Anny Dubé, M.Sc., speech-language pathologist from Val-d’Or, the clinic was born in Abitibi-Témiscamingue to meet a real need: making speech therapy services accessible where they are scarce. That origin still guides the way we work.

Therapy sessions can take place in French, in English or bilingually — a particularly useful option for multilingual families and English-speaking Indigenous communities in the region. Bilingual speech therapy intervention is considered ideal for children who speak multiple languages.

Here, every client is a person before they are a file. Our speech-language pathologists value authenticity, creativity and accessibility to create a space where everyone feels heard and respected in their communication journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Speech Therapy in Val-d'Or

A child who has difficulty pronouncing sounds, building sentences, understanding instructions or interacting with others could benefit from a speech-language assessment. Certain challenging behaviours (e.g., meltdowns, anger, withdrawal) are sometimes the sign of an underlying language development concern. A session with a speech-language pathologist can answer your questions and guide follow-up to help your child effectively.

Individual consultations and therapy sessions are offered at a rate of $150/hr with a speech-language correction agent and $165/50 minutes with a speech-language pathologist. Evaluations are offered at $555 per evaluation session and include data collection, analysis, results and the creation of a targeted intervention plan.

Speech therapy is a non-taxable health service in Québec, and many insurance plans cover part or all of the fees.

Funding options for stuttering are available through the Association des jeunes bègues du Québec (AJBQ) and Association bégaiement communication (ABC).

First Nations and Inuit families can also access financial support through Jordan’s Principle.

When the child is eligible, the speech-language pathologist can also confirm eligibility in government forms for the Allocations à l’intégration en services de garde from the Ministère de la Famille, the Child Disability Benefit from the Government of Canada, and the Supplement for Handicapped Children from the Government of Québec.
