ABOUT ME

Heba Kalakeche, MPO

Speech & Language Pathologist

Orthophoniste


I'm Heba Kalakeche; speech & language pathologist, parent coach & mom of two.


I am a Lebanese-Canadian mom of two. I have been working as a certified speech and language pathologist since 2012 in Montreal, Canada. I speak English & French, while proudly maintaining my mother tongue, Arabic, at home with my daughters. My love for languages has also driven me to learn Spanish. In the rush of working motherhood, I like to find and share tricks to transform everyday tasks into connection moments with my kids in my native language. I love to expand my knowledge about childhood development and parenting, so I can better connect with them.


A little about my work…

I love to see the wonder in the eyes of children as they learn and grow, and even more so, the amazement in the eyes of their parents as they see their child develop new abilities. For over 10 years now, I have been helping children and their families thrive while facing speech and language difficulties. My area of expertise is prevention, early intervention and multilingualism. I have worked in private with clients and in many daycares, assessing children and guiding educators.

After the pandemic, I started coaching parents online and quickly realized how many were looking for strategies to help their children develop their language abilities to their full potential. So, I created

Les Kids’ Kalam: a trilingual French-English-Arabic platform that offers information about bilingual language development as well as everyday practical advice for language stimulation.

My ultimate goal is...

  • Helping you connect with your kids in your language and through your culture, for a bilingual parenting experience unique to your family.

My services suit parents who…

  • Want to transmit their native language and culture to their child.

  • Are feeling "stuck" using the majority language of the country they live in.

  • Don’t know how to manage all the languages their child is exposed to.

  • Would their child to connect with their heritage culture and language.
