We offer individualized and evidence-based evaluation and treatment services for articulation, expressive and receptive language, apraxia and motor speech concerns, social skills, stuttering, accent variations, word finding and narrative skills, voice, resonance, phonological awareness, and literacy.

Khan Team Spotlight

Jillian Smith

Speech-Language Pathologist

During my time with KCS I have had the privilege of working with children and teens of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. I provide individual assessment and treatment services in our Edmonton clinic and I have served as a group leader in the Chatter Program™ helping young children and teenagers with social communication difficulties.
Jillian SmithSpeech-Language Pathologist

Jillian has worked with Khan Communication Services for over 8 years. She has a special interest and experience in AAC systems for children who are either nonverbal or have limited verbal skills. She loves hearing from parents how interactions with their children progress, whether it be understanding their child more or having more meaningful conversations with them.

Jillian also services schools in rural communities such as Mayerthorpe and Sangudo, Alberta. She is responsible for assessing and treating students with a variety of communication disorders. She works in local Indigenous community schools and continues to build her knowledge and experience with Indigenous cultures and learning more of the Cree Language. She has had the pleasure of joining local events such as a community pow wow that occurs at the start of each school year in Maskwacis, Alberta.

I've been with Khan Communications for about 8 years, through different programs for my 14 year old autistic son. The volunteers feel like they are part of my family now. We have been through so much together, learning, growing through puberty, and so much more. The Khan volunteers and staff have changed my son's life and mine as well. We will always hold the Chatter program in the highest regard.
