Welcome to The Literacy Collective!

Carly Axani is a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist with 15 years of experience helping children develop strong communication and literacy skills. Before becoming an SLP, Carly worked as a Registered Nurse—an early foundation that shaped her holistic, compassionate, and family-centered approach to care.

Carly is currently completing her second Master’s degree, specializing in Structured Literacy and Reading Science at the University of Alberta. Her advanced training reflects her deep commitment to understanding how language and literacy intersect, and to ensuring that every child receives instruction grounded in the most current evidence. Carly’s expertise bridges speech-language pathology and literacy intervention, allowing her to identify the root causes of learning difficulties and design targeted, effective support.

Her clinical practice blends research-based methods with playful, engaging learning experiences. She supports children with a wide variety of needs, including speech sound disorders, orofacial myofunctional concerns, early language delays, fluency disorders, phonological awareness, early reading and writing development, receptive and expressive language challenges, pediatric feeding, and complex communication needs.

Carly is dedicated to empowering families with practical tools and clear understanding, ensuring progress continues beyond the therapy room. She brings warmth, clarity, and highly specialized knowledge to her work—helping children build the communication and literacy skills they need to thrive in school and in life.
