Clara Terra
Speech Language Pathologist MSc.SLP, R.SLP(C)
Hi there!
I’m Clara, and I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist and founder of Peak Speech & Language Therapy. I am passionate about supporting families truly understand their child’s speech and language development, and am grateful to connect with families in my hometown of Canmore. My goal is to create a space where families can access professional communication support with ease, and where speech therapy feels fun for children—helping them say what they want, and to feel fully seen, heard, and valued. I have experience supporting a variety of diverse communication needs for children of all ages within Alberta, in both community-based public and private health settings. I support children of all ages develop their speech and language skills so they can communicate confidently in play, friendships, and daily activities.
I am very passionate about keeping up with current research and professional development, and currently have additional training in the following areas:
- Speech Sound Delays & Disorders
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech Assessment and Treatment
Gestalt Language Processing and Natural Language Acquisition (NLA)
- Lidcombe Program for Stuttering
Family Centered Care
Families are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that progress happens best when caregivers are empowered and involved. Our team partners with families to understand their goals, routines, and values—creating personalized plans that fit real life and foster long-term success.
Neurodiversity Affirming
We celebrate every child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and interacting with the world. Our approach honours neurodiversity by focusing on strengths, and creating a space where every child can feel respected, valued, and supported.
Play Based Therapy
Play is the natural language of children—and the foundation of meaningful learning. Through play-based speech therapy, we build essential skills in communication in ways that feel joyful and engaging. Learning through play inspires growth, communication confidence, and creativity.
Evidenced Based Practice
Our methods are grounded in research and informed by the latest knowledge in children's speech and language development. We combine proven strategies with clinical expertise and compassion to make therapy sessions effective and tailored to your child’s individual needs.
We are here to support your family
Peak Speech & Language Therapy is passionate about a strength-based, family-centered approach that supports children’s communication development, recognizing that communication is a powerful skill in building relationships with others, self-advocacy & self-expression, and engaging in learning about the world around us. We create positive, engaging, and inclusive speech therapy experiences by collaborating with families to create meaningful goals, incorporating play, and personalizing sessions to each child’s unique interests to help support children reaching their communication goals.
We believe in every child's potential
