Words.

"I have always thought words were beautiful!  It is so rewarding for me to find ways to connect with a child who struggles with speech and language, and improve not only their quality of life, but also give them the ability to connect with others in the world around them.  Language is learned through relationships!"
​
Bonnie Baxter graduated with her Master's Degree from Minot State University in 1997 and has held various positions in the public health sector in Alberta and BC since that time.  She and her family moved to Medicine Hat in 2007 and have enjoyed becoming part of this warm and friendly community.  She is married with two boys and loves being a mom.  She is creative, kind and enthusiastic about helping others.
