Communication is the way we interact with the world; from a baby’s earliest smiles and coos to having conversations in adulthood. If a person has difficulty communicating, they may be more isolated and struggle in all aspects of their life.
Are you concerned about your preschool child’s speech and language milestones?
Does your child’s play or social interactions seem inappropriate to you?
Do you support an adult with a Developmental Disability or Autism in a community setting and need communication support?
Do you have a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Speech & Language Program may be an appropriate service.
The Speech & Language Program is a provincially-funded program that supports individuals to make the most of their communication skills.
We are a team of CASLPO Registered Speech-Language Pathologists and Communicative Disorders Assistants.
Services for preschool children and adults with developmental delays are free. The cost for services for clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder may vary. Please contact us for details.
