History
Speech-language pathologist, Nadia Pelton, saw a need for professionals
to improve their speaking, writing and interactional skills to succeed
in business. In 1990, she established Accent on Communication as an
educational institution and speech therapy clinic.
Accent on Communication provides customized workshops, seminars and
speech therapy for individuals and small groups. Courses can be delivered
on-site or at our downtown Calgary location. To accommodate our clients'
busy schedules, we offer flexible training options such as telephone
and internet consultation and distance conferencing.
As a certified educational institution, programs are tax deductible.
In many cases, services are eligible for coverage through secondary
insurance plans under professional speech therapy consultation.
Our Mission
In an atmosphere of trust, respect and confidentiality, Accent on
Communication will provide our clients with tools that allow them
to achieve their business, social and personal communication goals.
We will ensure that our clients attain new levels of communication
effectiveness by using leading-edge technologies, current training
methods, and best professional practices.
