Over the years, Michelle has specialised in the rehabilitation of aphasia, motor speech, augmentative & alternative communication, and cognitive-communication disorders, and has collaborated on rehab teams in stroke/neurology, traumatic brain injury, and assistive technology. She has also participated in clinical research, supervision, and academic teaching at McGill, and has received awards for her work in these areas.

Client Experience
"We are so grateful to have connected with Michelle [...]. There was a bond immediately as soon as we met her even though the sessions were all done virtually. Michelle made the process of speech therapy interesting and fun for me because she focused on the things I was passionate about, like lobster fishing. Michelle also made sure that my wife was included in my progress through the many updates that we had reminding us that as a family we were all going through this together. After a lot of hard work and with Michelle’s guidance I have come so far [...]. My family and I will be forever indebted to her for taking me on this journey to my recovery. I have discovered so many things that I am good at because of Michelle’s teaching like writing short stories that I would have never done before. Michelle’s dedication, support and patience to her clients is first class and she will never know how profoundly she has affected our lives."
