After graduating from the Université de Montréal with a bachelor's degree in speech-language pathology and a master's degree in speech-language pathology in 2019, Mathilde has since been a member of the Ordre des orthophonistes et des audiologistes du Québec. Passionate about school-age clients, Mathilde had the opportunity to work in a multilingual context in Montreal during her first years of practice. She then focused her career on disadvantaged Francophone environments, focusing on language stimulation for younger children (kindergarten) and different types of intervention and assessment for elementary school children. She has developed an expertise between the language difficulties that a child may present and his or her school career. Mathilde has also collaborated with various school stakeholders in order to promote the development and evolution of children with language and speech sound disorders. Because of her professional career path and her results after 5 years of practice, she was selected to do internship supervision as well as mentoring. And for 6 years now, Mathilde has been committed to passing on her passion for speech therapy, language development and the variety of interventions that can be offered to support children in their daily accomplishments.
