Zoë Watt
Speech Language Pathologist in Victoria, BC.
Zoë’s personal pronouns are “she/her”.
Zoë is certified by Speech-Language Audiology Canada (SAC) and is licensed by and is a registrant of the College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of British Columbia. She holds a bachelors degree of speech-language pathology from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland and a masters of education in Inclusive Practice from the Open University (UK).
Her experience includes working with children who benefit from therapy to meet speech & language milestones, to those with complex communication needs who may rely on augmentative or alternative communication systems.
Starting with the child’s strengths, and presuming competence, Zoë responds to the concerns of the family. This collaboration identifies shared goals so therapy fits with and meets each child and families unique needs.
