Hi! My name is Keren and I am the very proud owner of West Island Speech Therapy. Here is a little bit about my history and some news for the future.

While I obtained my Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Linguistics from Concordia University, I developed an absolute love for languages and speech sound development. In 2001, I graduated from McGill University with a Masters of Science in Speech and Language Therapy. After obtaining my degree, I worked at a well-known private pediatric speech and language clinic in Montreal. During those incredible years, I was able to learn from experienced and specialized therapist in a nurturing and family-centered environment.

Once I moved to the West Island and started a family, I decided to stay close to home and to work privately. I was blessed with 3 wonderful daughters and a thriving private practice. One of my daughters became my very own special client as she required speech therapy off and on from the age of 3 to 6 years old. This experience allowed me to truly understand what it means to work with your own child!

Over the course of my career, I have given workshops on Childhood Apraxia of Speech to other Speech Pathologists in various institutions. I lecture at McGill for the graduate students in Speech Pathology on the same topic and I have developed a visual-tactile hand cueing system for long and short vowels to facilitate motor speech therapy.

In addition to being certified in The Lidcombe Program for stuttering, I am Hanen certified in It Takes Two to Talk and I have completed an intensive training course in Orofacial Myology. In 2018, I decided that it was time to give back. I wanted to create the opportunity for other clinicians to work in the environment that I had the privilege of working in many years ago. This desire coupled with the vision of providing a multidisciplinary environment for the families that I service, led to the creation of AccessAbilities Therapy Clinic. AccessAbilities Therapy Clinic opened in June of 2019.

I absolutely love my job. Seeing children succeed and helping families achieve their goals is so incredibly rewarding to me. Working closely with children and their families is my absolute passion!
