About Me
I’m Nimra, a registered Speech-Language Pathologist with experience supporting children and adults with a wide range of communication goals. I hold a Master of Science in Speech and Language Therapy from the University of Reading in England and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science of Language from McMaster University. I also completed a Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Science and have worked extensively with individuals with autism and ADHD.
I started my career in the ABA field, working with children on the Autism Spectrum. From there, I have had the privilege to work with adults of all ages as well, in hospitals, long-term care, in-home, and in the virtual setting to address various concerns.
What’s my approach?
My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client. I prefer to take a holistic view of an individual’s life and the factors that can make communication easier or more difficult. I integrate current research, clinical expertise, and the client’s individual priorities while considering both the overt and covert aspects of communication.
I strive to create a warm and respectful environment where clients feel comfortable experimenting, asking questions, and building their skills. My goal is to help each person communicate in a way that feels clear, effective, and authentic. I also speak English and Urdu and have foundational knowledge of Japanese and Korean sound systems through university-level and independent study.
