Hailey Walchuk, M.Sc., CCC-SLP, S-LP (C)

Hi! Im Hailey. A registered speech-language pathologist and the owner/founder of Spectrum Pediatric Services. I am passionate about supporting the autistic community and helping families feel confident in supporting their autistic children in becoming the beautiful and authentic little people they were meant to be.

Access to services is one of the biggest challenges we have right now. This is where Spectrum beginnings stemmed from. Getting a diagnosis, whether expected or not, can feel overwhelming and isolating. As parents, you would do anything to support your child. Unfortunately there is a world of incorrect information out there and “therapies” that take advantage of your vulnerability. I want you to have the right information. Autism is not a bad thing. Its not wrong or disordered. Its a neurological difference. When we can understand autism for what it really is and make the shift, we become better advocates, communication partners, and overall build authentic happy children. Im so glad you are here.
