About Chatterbox Communication Services

Chatterbox Communication Services is a family-centered speech therapy clinic located on Wharncliffe Rd S in the Highland neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The clinic serves children by providing speech and language pathology as well as occupational therapy services. The team utilizes evidence-based approaches within a bright, welcoming, and playful environment designed to support children in reaching functional goals that impact their daily lives. The clinic offers a variety of specialized services, including literacy support to identify and address challenges in decoding words, manipulating sounds, and vocabulary development. They provide speech assessments for sound production and clarity, including delays related to motor planning such as Apraxia of Speech. Additionally, the clinic offers stuttering intervention for preschool and early school-age children using the Lidcombe Program, as well as language therapy focusing on grammar, story comprehension, following directions, and vocabulary. Founded in 2013 by owner and Speech-Language Pathologist Nicole Hoover, the practice was established to provide more flexibility for her family while supporting the local community. The team includes Speech-Language Pathologists Rosanne Bakker, Alison Csercsics, and Morley Rivard. The clinic emphasizes a collaborative approach, working closely with parents to integrate therapy into a family's busy life. Nicole has also provided support to the Chippewa of the Thames First Nation and the Community in Motion Fun for Community Living London. Prospective clients can begin the process by contacting the clinic to schedule an assessment. The intake process involves gathering reports from previous clinicians and completing intake forms before the initial visit, where the team assesses the child and develops a personalized therapy plan.
