What this is, in plain language
Free, one-on-one or small-group speech-language therapy for children 18 months to 12, delivered by licensed, board-certified speech-language pathologists, including diagnostic evaluations. Parents can observe sessions and take home activities to continue at home.
Getting started
Contact the centre by phone or email to ask about starting an evaluation; children already receiving speech services through an IEP, a regional centre or a private provider cannot be accepted.
