Courtney Rich, MA. CCC-SLP

Courtney is a medical Speech-Language Pathologist with over 12 years of clinical experience supporting infants, children, and families across hospital, community, and educational settings. She holds a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology and a Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Psychology.
Much of Courtney’s career has been spent in pediatric hospital care, including eight years working across the NICU, maternity ward, acute care, PICU, and outpatient services. She has extensive experience supporting infants and young children with feeding and swallowing challenges related to a wide range of medically complex conditions.

Courtney’s passion for pediatric feeding was strengthened after becoming a parent herself and experiencing firsthand how overwhelming feeding challenges can feel during the early postpartum period. This personal perspective, combined with her clinical expertise, reinforced her commitment to provide knowledgeable, compassionate support during such a significant transition.

She has completed advanced training in pediatric feeding and swallowing, including the SOS Approach to Feeding and continues to focus her professional development on infant feeding, early development, and medically complex feeding presentations. Courtney is registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
