YOU

Client or Parent of Client

At Vancouver Speech Therapy we highly value collaboration! Whether you are the client or the parent of the client your input is necessary for progress. As the parent you know your child best so your goals are our priorities. Your input is valuable. At the end of every session whether it’s in home or online we take about 5 minutes to debrief you, the parent on what was done, progress and ideas for next session. It is important for us at Vancouver Speech Therapy to ensure you are informed about your child’s progress regularly and feel like you are apart of the therapeutic process.

AMAN SAHNAN

Registered Speech and Language Pathologist/ Clinical Director

Hi, my name is Aman Sahnan! I graduated from the University of Alberta with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology in 2018. I have experience working in public and private settings. I started working with the Edmonton Catholic School District where I tended to preschool and kinder aged children with a range of speech/language and developmental disorders. I also worked at a private agency in Burnaby, where I began my work with a wider age range from preschool to school aged children. I am especially motivated to support non-verbal children find alternative means to communicate.

I also enjoy working with Adults, specifically on accent reduction. Having been brought up with a mom who experienced an accent I understand the obstacles some of us face when adjusting to a new country and learning a new language.

Certifications:

Hanen: Learning Language and Loving It
Accent Reduction Teacher Training through “Speech and Voice Global Enterprises”
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)

Aman sees in person paediatric clients for language and articulation in a therapy room in her house in Langley. No longer accepting new clients.

I have experience supporting individuals across the lifespan with their communication needs, helping both children and adults grow their speech and language skills to enhance their daily interactions and quality of life.

Taylor Schweighardt

Behaviour Consultant

Hi! My name is Taylor Schweighardt, and I’m a Behaviour Assistant at Meadow Minds. I completed my education as an Educational Assistant and worked in the school district for two years as a Level 3 EA before deciding to explore a new setting where I could continue supporting children in a different way — something I’ve always been passionate about!

I’ve always had a strong passion for working with children who require extra support. Over the years, I’ve gained experience as a Behaviour Interventionist and as a nanny for a family with two children on the autism spectrum, who taught me so much. I’ve specialized my studies in Autism and completed several additional courses to ensure I can support your kiddos to the best of my ability. I take great pride in forming genuine connections with the children I work with and celebrating every milestone as if it were my own.

In my free time, I love spending time with my niece, playing with my dog, Malcolm, and fitting in time to move my body at the gym!

Sherouk Shehata

Registered Speech and Language Pathologist

Hi, I’m Sherouk! I completed my Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of British Columbia. My clinical experience spans community health, private practice, hospital outpatient and inpatient clinics, early intervention, and disability-support settings. I’ve worked with children from infancy through adolescence with needs in language, speech sounds, social communication, fluency, AAC, and early literacy.

My paediatric background includes supporting children with developmental language disorder, late language emergence, articulation and phonological delays, and childhood apraxia of speech. I have also supported adults in expressive and receptive language, cognitive-communication, voice, and social communication.
