Maddy Federman

M.Sc., SLP, Reg. CASLPO

Communication is a vital aspect of human connection — My goal is to empower children to express themselves confidently and effectively!

As a dedicated and compassionate speech-language pathologist, my professional journey is driven by a deep commitment to enhancing communication skills, nurturing confidence, and ensuring a supportive and fun environment through play and evidence-based therapy.

I obtained my Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology at McMaster University and am registered in good standing with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO), as well am registered with Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC).

My areas of interest and expertise include articulation, phonology, motor speech, early language development, autism spectrum disorder, social-emotional communication, and augmentative and alternative communication.
