Helping Children and Youth Build Strong Communication Skills

Speech and language support for families, schools, daycares, preschools,
Head Starts, health centres, ECIP programs, and community partners across Saskatchewan.

Welcome to Howden Speech and Language

We are a team of Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLP-As) dedicated to helping children and youth develop strong communication skills.

Based in Saskatoon, we provide services throughout Saskatoon, North Battleford, Prince Albert, and surrounding communities. Since 2018, we have partnered with families, schools, daycares, preschools, Head Starts, health centres, ECIP programs, and Jordan's Principle community sites to deliver high-quality, evidence-based speech and language services.

Our team serves children and youth from birth to 18 years of age and is committed to making services practical, engaging, and meaningful for the children, families, and professionals we support.

Support That Fits Real-Life Learning

Every child communicates differently. Our role is to understand each child’s strengths, identify their needs, and
provide practical support that can be used at home, at school, and in the community.

Testimonials

What Families and Community Partners Are Saying

We had Jenna Howden, Speech & Language Pathologist, come and do a presentation for the Educational Assistants at our school. The day was balanced to provide theory and practice. She went over the common errors children have, gave us a binder and explained how to go about setting up a speech and language therapy session. The presentation was very well organized, and most of all she made it fun!  She provided hands on examples and games with demonstrations. We also used SLP students in our school to demonstrate and provide therapy. I would highly recommend Jenna!”
