Jill Petersen, M.Sc., RSLP

Jill earned her Master’s of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of British Columbia and her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Linguistics from McGill University. At UBC, she was involved in research on the narrative skills of bilingual school-aged children and also did her thesis research on the vocabulary skills of bilingual children with autism spectrum disorders. Jill worked as a Supported Childcare Consultant, a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, and a Behaviour Interventionist before coming to DSRF in January 2010. She is now providing individual, consultative and group therapy, as well as assessment services at our main location in Burnaby and in South Surrey. Jill is excited to work as a member of DSRF’s team and to continue conducting speech-language therapy research in the future.
