Closing the Gap Speech Clinic
Speech therapy for kids in Owen Sound
Helping children communicate with clarity and confidence
When a child struggles to speak clearly, it can impact how they learn, connect, and express who they are. At Closing the Gap’s Speech Clinic in Owen Sound, we offer personalized speech therapy to help children become confident, capable communicators — in their own voice, at their own pace.
Whether you’re just starting to wonder if speech therapy might help, or you’re looking for a fresh approach, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We provide in-person pediatric speech therapy in Owen Sound for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. If you’re concerned about how your child sounds when they speak, how fluently they talk, or how their voice is used, we can help.
We welcome families at any stage — no referral is needed.
We specialize in:
Articulation
- Does your child have trouble with certain speech sounds like “r,” “s,” or “th”? Are they often hard to understand, even by familiar listeners?
- We help children produce sounds correctly and speak more clearly using fun, motivating activities tailored to their age and needs.
Stuttering
- If your child repeats sounds, stretches out words, or seems to “get stuck” when speaking, they may be stuttering. This can affect confidence, especially in social or school settings.
- We provide supportive, evidence-informed stuttering therapy to build fluency — and self-assurance — in everyday situations and for functional confident communication.
Voice
- Some children develop hoarse, strained, or unusually high- or low-pitched voices. Others lose their voice frequently or use excessive volume without meaning to.
- We teach safe, healthy voice habits and guide children in finding a strong, expressive voice that feels good and sounds natural.
-
Child-Centred Care
We focus on what works best for your child — not one-size-fits-all programs. Sessions are playful, respectful, and designed to make your child feel safe and supported.
-
Parent Involvement
You’re not just included — you’re essential. We share strategies, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident helping your child at home.
-
Clear Communication
You’ll always know how your child is doing, what we’re working on, and why it matters. No jargon. No surprises. Just real progress and honest support.
-
Comfortable, Private Environment
Therapy is delivered in a quiet, professional setting that’s kid-friendly and calm — no busy waiting rooms, no distractions.
You do not need a doctor’s referral. Just reach out by phone or fill out our online form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll take care of the rest.
