LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT INFO.

ATTENTION ALL JK PARENTS!!   IMPORTANT!  - ONLY available for children under 5 yrs.   
"FIRST WORDS" -  FREE Speech & Language SCREENING CLINICS - are offered by the City of Ottawa  and funded by the Ministry of Health Ontario.  It is highly recommended that any child who may have issues with receptive or expressive language, and/or articulation be identified by a Speech & Language Pathologist at these screening clinics. Please take a look at the schedule to find a walk-in clinic that works for you. This screening often confirms that language difficulties are age-appropriate but sometimes they identify issues that need to be addressed in order to be corrected through proactive, simple games before those issues become a habit. Please observe your child closely and consider having an expert check them out!
