Background
Caroline has been a speech-language pathologist for over 20 years and joined the clinic’s team in 2022. She holds a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the Université de Montréal and is a member of the OOAQ. Throughout her career, she has worked in a wide range of settings — early childhood centres (CPEs), elementary and secondary schools, CLSCs, rehabilitation centres, private practices, and community organizations — supporting a diverse clientele from early childhood through adulthood.
Drawing on this extensive experience, Caroline has developed particular expertise working with children and adolescents presenting complex profiles, including language disorders, motor speech disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, and selective mutism. She also supports adults living with aphasia or cognitive-communication disorders.
Curious, creative, and deeply human-centred, Caroline values an individualized, functional approach grounded in the everyday realities of the people she supports. She is actively committed to providing practical tools that promote communication, autonomy, and quality of life — whether at school, at work, or in the community. She is also highly engaged in her profession, with conferences, continuing education, mentorship, and participation in various social and editorial projects forming an integral part of her professional journey.
Caroline chose to join the clinic to be part of a warm, collaborative, and dynamic team, and to work in an environment that fosters professional exchange, innovation, and a practice focused on what matters most: the needs of clients.
