Meet the team

admin@connectkids.ca

I am a Clinic Administrative Assistant with a genuine enthusiasm for healthcare and for creating positive, supportive experiences for the people I serve. With more than five years in customer-focused roles, I’ve learned how far a warm smile, a calm presence, and a willingness to listen can go in helping others feel cared for. My educational path has always centered around health and wellness—I hold a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition, an Advanced Diploma in Food Science Technology, and a Diploma in Medical Office Administration. Together, they’ve given me a solid foundation that I use every day in my work.

Outside the clinic, my world revolves around my family. I’m married with two wonderful children who keep life full, busy, and joyful. We love cozy evenings together, especially when we’re singing around the house or settling in to watch movies based on true events. Those moments remind me why I value connection so much—whether at home or in my professional life.

At my core, I’m a pleasant, people-oriented person who finds fulfillment in helping others and being part of a team that makes a difference. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute to a healthier, kinder community.

Hello! I'm Selina. I have a genuine passion for supporting others and creating welcoming, positive experiences for every person I interact with. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology from King’s University College at Western University. My education has given me a strong understanding of people, relationships, and the importance of compassionate support. Through my experience in administrative and client-focused roles, I have learned how much a smile and offering support with willingness to listen can help someone feel supported and cared for.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, and spending time with my dog and cat. I also love learning new things, watching movies and shows, and staying involved in my community. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and making others feel welcomed and heard. I am someone who finds fulfillment in helping others.

At my core, I am a friendly, organized, and people-oriented person who takes pride in being dependable and creating a positive environment for both clients and coworkers. I’m always excited to learn, grow, and contribute to a team that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of others. 

ghazal@connectkids.ca

Hi! I’m Ghazal — but most kids call me G! I’m a Communicative Disorders Assistant (CDA) with a post-graduate certificate from Lambton College and a diploma in Child and Youth Education from Fanshawe College. 

I’ve spent over 7 years helping children find their voice, build confidence, and have fun while they learn. I support children with a wide range of communication needs, including those with diagnosed speech and language disorders, Developmental Language Disorder, and little ones on the Autism Spectrum. I’ve worked in group programs, centre-based sessions, and lots of individualized 1:1 therapy—each child gets a plan that’s just right for them.

Whether a child is verbal, non-verbal, uses AAC, or communicates in their own unique way, I meet them exactly where they are. I help with articulation, expressive and receptive language, social communication, and early language development—always keeping things playful and meaningful.

Alongside in-person therapy in the London area, I also offer virtual sessions for families anywhere. Many parents aren’t sure about online therapy at first, but once they see how engaging it can be—with games, visuals, movement, and lots of laughs—they’re usually surprised by how well their child learns. I’ve seen incredible progress through virtual sessions!

I believe every child shines in their own way. My job is to bring out that spark! I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with kids and their families. I use each child’s interests—dinosaurs, princesses, you name it—to make therapy fun, motivating, and something they look forward to.

I’m fluent in English and Farsi, and I provide speech therapy services in the London, Ontario area and virtually across Canada.

Hi, there! My name is Kalee - I am a Communicative Disorders Assistant (CDA) who graduated from St. Lawrence College in 2025. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Child, Youth, & Family at the University of Guelph, where I also became registered as an Early Childhood Educator (ECE). Over the years, I’ve spent most of my time working with kids.

I have 10+ years of experience working with children in different settings; in schools, at day camps, as a Nanny, as an ECE in a preschool room, and now as a CDA. My passion has always been helping children feel included and seen, and helping them learn and grow! This led me to become a CDA because I found it so meaningful to help children to communicate and express themselves.

Over the past year, I’ve worked with children with a wide range of communication needs and individualized goals. I support areas such as articulation, expressive and receptive language, social communication, and early literacy development.

My approach is play-based and child-centered. I strongly believe that using play and games to target goals is the most effective way to help children learn while having fun and feeling connected. I take into account each child’s unique interests in therapy sessions to make learning meaningful and motivating.

I believe making connections with the families and children I work with is so important. Every child deserves to feel important and excited to learn, and I hope to offer a space to do that! I offer speech therapy sessions in person in London, Ontario, as well as virtual sessions.

Hi, I’m Ash! I’m a Communicative Disorders Assistant (CDA) with a background in Speech-Language Pathology and a passion for helping children communicate, connect, and grow in confidence.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology and continued my education through the Communicative Disorders Assistant program. With over six years of experience in the field, I have supported hundreds of children and families across a wide range of ages, abilities, and communication needs through both in-person and virtual sessions.

Much of my clinical experience and passion lies in supporting autistic and neurodivergent children, alongside children with speech sound disorders, language delays, and social communication challenges. As a Hanen Certified Practitioner, I value supporting communication through meaningful, everyday interactions and working closely with families. I have also authored two published research articles, including one as lead author, and enjoy bringing an evidence-informed perspective to my work.

My approach is individualized, strengths-based, and family-centred. I believe therapy should build on what makes each child unique while giving families practical strategies that fit into everyday life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also developed therapy resources to support children and families as services transitioned to virtual care, further shaping the creativity and flexibility I bring to my sessions.

I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu, and also have knowledge of Punjabi, which allows me to connect with families from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my Cavapoo, Laddoo. I also have an interest in sound healing and enjoy exploring the connection between sound, mindfulness, and well-being.

I’m excited to be part of the Connect Kids team and to support children and families as they build communication, connection, and confidence!
