Speech activation
Gentle, playful techniques to spark first words and expand expressive language in children who are slow to start talking.
Speech-language specialist · Certified DIR/Floortime
I'm Nadiia Mikhei. I offer warm, play-based speech and language sessions built around each child's interests and strengths — in person in Winnipeg and online.
About me
I'm Nadiia — a speech-language specialist with seven years of experience supporting children's communication and development. Trained as a speech therapist (logopedist), I began my career in a therapeutic preschool in Poland, then grew from teaching assistant to therapy coordinator at SOTIS in Warsaw.
After moving to Canada I worked as a teaching assistant and built my private practice as a language tutor. Two years ago I began my path as a certified DIR/Floortime practitioner, and I'm now working toward my speech-language pathology licence in Manitoba.
What makes my work different: I build every session around the child — their interests, their strengths, their pace. When children lead, they stay engaged — and that's where real growth happens.
Services
Three core areas of work for children aged 1 to 11 and their families.
Gentle, playful techniques to spark first words and expand expressive language in children who are slow to start talking.
Comprehensive correction of sound pronunciation, with development of the phonetic and grammatical sides of speech.
Relationship-based, play-led sessions that meet your child exactly where they are — building joint attention, connection, communication and emotional regulation.
The approach
A developmental, relationship-based approach used in over 100 countries. Instead of focusing on compliance, we follow the child's lead through play to grow the foundations of development — shared attention, self-regulation, social connection, communication and thinking.
Parents are part of the process. I coach you along the way, so the connection and progress continue at home between our sessions.
We talk about your child, your hopes and your concerns.
A play-based session built on their interests and strengths.
A written plan with short- and long-term goals and methods.
Guidance so progress carries on between visits.
