Telepractice Today

I'm Tali Kellerstein, Speech-Language Pathologist, Author, Speaker and Founder.

​After graduating with my M.H.Sc. from the University of Toronto, I practiced for a decade as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the (Motor) Speech program at The Speech and Stuttering Institute (SSI), where I gained extensive experience treating children with moderate-severe motor speech disorders.

In 2015, I began to work full-time at my home-based clinic, The Speak Boutique. I am dedicated to working with children with Speech Sound Disorders including Childhood Apraxia of Speech and have completed extensive additional training in these areas including PROMPT Certification (2013) and the Apraxia Kids Bootcamp (2021). In January 2022, I was Recognized by Apraxia Kids for Advanced Training in Childhood Apraxia of Speech. At The Speak Boutique clinic, I provide virtual assessment and therapy for children four years and older with difficulty in areas of articulation, phonology, and motor speech.

In 2020, I launched my first publication: Party Animals! Party Animals! was just the start of an exciting product line that now includes a poster, speech sound cards, and storytelling cards. Watch this space - a boardgame is in the works!

​The Speak Boutique is dedicated to helping children with speech sound disorders communicate clearly, and empowering their adults to support them. Follow The Speak Boutique on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and read my blog for endless therapy tips and ideas.

I live in Toronto with my husband Dave, and our two spectacular kids Josh and Eden.
