Simone Klann is an Edmonton-based speech-language pathologist in private practice. For over 25 years, she has assisted families and individuals in reaching their highest communicative potential.
Early in her career, Simone provided assessment, therapy and consultation services to children and families in a variety of settings including hospital outpatient services, childcare and preschool programs, elementary schools, and community health programs. Simone then assumed a clinical leadership position which integrated program development, clinical guidance, and mentoring to speech-language pathologists, speech-language assistants and graduate students.
In 2010, Simone started Klann Consulting Services. While continuing her work with children and families, she also expanded her practice to include English pronunciation improvement and communication coaching for adults with a native language other than English. She regularly provides assessment and individual instruction to adults who want to improve their pronunciation, communication confidence, and presentation skills. Simone has developed a program, Precision English Pronunciation, to support communication growth in a corporate setting.
