Welcome to RISE Stephanie!
Stephanie is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Registered Autism Service Provider (RASP) in British Columbia.
In addition to her clinical practice with Rise Stephanie also provides assessment and consultation for the
BC Autism Assessment Network (BCAAN) and the Complex Developmental Behavioural Conditions team at Sunny Hill
Health Centre at BC Children’s Hospital, the Child Development Centre in Fort St John and North Coast Community Services
in Prince Rupert.
She holds a Masters in Speech Pathology from Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, and a Masters in Writing for Screen + Stage from Northwestern University in Chicago Illinois. She has spent much of her career working in early intervention and is especially passionate about supporting young children and their families through assessment, communication development,
and the early stages of intervention.
Her approach is child-centred, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practice. She works closely with families to support communication in ways that are meaningful, practical, and responsive to each child’s individual strengths and needs.
With a background in both speech-language pathology, creative writing, and theatre, Stephanie brings a playful and engaging
approach to her work, with the goal of helping children build confidence, connection, and joy through communication.
