In this 2019 Pride Month post, we tackle the question on everyone’s tongue- “Is there a gay voice?” We explore the literature and what experts describe as trends in the communication of people who identify as gay. We challenge our perspectives and acknowledge that like sexuality and gender- communication is a dynamic spectrum that can express our individuality, while finding beauty in our similarities.

Considering how valuable and important communication is to our personal and professional lives- will it make the cut for your short-list of new year’s resolutions in 2019? How could you improve your interactions with the people around you and reach your communication potential in 2019? Come chat with our speech-language pathologist to find out!

#LetsTalk As a speech-language pathologist who works with adults to develop their communication, I often encounter adults who are suffering in silence with their mental health concerns. Our ability to communicate effectively can have significant impacts on our mental health. In addition, the words we use and how we treat those with mental health concerns or communication difficulties can have a significant impact on a person's mental health. 

With an adult approach to speech therapy, adults are able to make changes to their communication. Whether you have a disorder or want to work on communication skills for your own professional or personal development- our registered speech-language pathologist will collaborate with you to develop a program that fits your unique and individual needs.

At TASC we believe communication is a basic human right. With adults accounting for approximately 80% of Toronto's population..."We have a responsibility to every client and every potential client to stay informed, up to date with current research, and make ourselves accessible and respectful in our practice of adult speech therapy. No one should feel isolated or alienated on their journey to communicate effectively- after all, the ability to communicate is a basic human right."
