Kind Words

“We have been seeing Chelsea since 2019 when we were referred to Inspiration Station Preschool from Alberta Health. My son has Apraxia of Speech and from my conversations with a lot of Speech Language Therapists that takes a sometimes different approach. Chelsea put into place a plan that was perfect for him.”

“When my almost three-year-old son started preschool in September 2020 I was nervous how my child would do. Was already assessed with a severe speech delay which caused some behavioural problems with our son, mainly we did not understand his wants as he just did not have the communication skills to tell us. The first month we started to see some small changes as he adapted to school life four days a week. He was also assessed having fine and gross motor delays. Over the next few months the progress he has made is huge. In September, he had maybe ten words he used consistently to now in March 2021 probably well over 100 words and is forming three-to-four word sentences. I always dreamed of the day my child would say I love you Momma back to me and it has finally happened. Early intervention in speech therapy has been the biggest key to my son’s success with his speech. Our tantrums because we may not understand what he wants has almost disappeared. I feel like I am connecting more with my child more now than ever. The speech therapists Chelsea and Jacelyn are true heroes in my eyes and have really built a strong bond with my son and he loves working with him during his time at Inspiration Station. All the staff at this preschool are so amazing and I am so thankful for all they do as I don’t think we would be this far already in progress without them.”

“Chelsea is so kind, fun, patient, and she listens to the kids. I can tell that she loves working with kids and that she truly wants to help them do their best with their speech. She has given me more tools to help me work with my little guy at home, which I feel has helped us work as a team for my child. My little one has come a LONG way since the beginning of September and I know he wouldn’t be where he is today without Chelsea’s help. I highly recommend Chelsea for a speech therapist, she will not disappoint and your child will love her.”

“Chelsea has been working with our son Jackson for about a year and a half. She connected with him on such a level that their relationship created an instant bond! When covid started we went to virtual sessions and he would look forward to them every week. His speech has grown immensely over the last year and it is all thanks to Chelsea. She is very patient and knows when to encourage him to keep going or move onto something else. We trust Chelsea with every aspect of our sons learning and growth with his speech and he continues to look forward to his weekly classes with her.”

“My 4 year old son has been in class, in private one on one in person sessions, assessments and virtual zoom sessions with Chelsea. She is always prompt, informative and engaging. She comes up with the best games to keep the whole session feeling like playtime, and my son never wants to be late for a session with her in fear of missing out on a second of fun.”
