Carolyn Robeson - Speech Language Pathologist

Carolyn Robeson, Speech Language Pathologist

Children are naturally drawn to Carolyn’s engaging, creative, and fun-loving approach to pediatric speech therapy. She creates a warm and rewarding learning environment for children and their families, tailored to each child’s specific communication development needs. Carolyn shares in their joy as they progress toward their communication goals each day and ensures that families are equipped with the tools and support needed to continue helping their children outside of her sessions, and while working with health care professionals.

With extensive pediatric experience in both private practice and public school settings, Carolyn’s work focuses on various aspects of communication development. She addresses language delays, articulation disorders, stuttering, autism, motor speech, and developmental disabilities through her speech therapy sessions. Additionally, she teaches parents practical strategies to assist their children in overcoming language difficulties and enhancing their communication skills.

Carolyn holds a Masters of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from The Pennsylvania State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Psychology from Queen's University. She is registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and is a proud member of the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Ontario Association of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists (OSLA).

Her certifications include:

- Hanen certified in It Takes Two to Talk, More Than Words, Target Word, and TalkAbility programs, aimed at teaching parents strategies to support their children in communication development.

- Certified Lidcombe Therapist, providing treatment for preschool children who stutter.

- Trained in PROMPT, a motor speech-based therapy that facilitates speech production.

- Completed the Rest Posture Program (Level 1 & 2) for assessing and treating orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Residing in Kitchener, Carolyn enjoys renovating her home while keeping her cats safely away from the bird feeders on her deck. She is a former USASA snowboard champion and a Les Mills BodyPump, BodyAttack, and RPM fitness instructor, who relishes hiking and snowshoeing.
