Sometimes when children start Junior Kindergarten it becomes clear that they are struggling with speech, language, or literacy skills. This is also when problems with stuttering often start or get worse. Check your child’s speech and language development using the checklists at www.language-express.ca. If your child is not meeting one or more of the milestones, contact Language Express right away.
Our Speech-Language Pathologists and Communicative Disorders Assistants can help your child and provide helpful ideas for you and your child’s teachers.
The deadline for referring current JK children (born in 2014) has changed. Referrals must be received by November 30, 2018. After November 30, we will only accept referrals for children born in 2015 or later.
It is never too early to refer if you have concerns. Call 1-888-503-8885 or 613-283-2742 or email: language.express@healthunit.org
Language Express services are funded by the province and are free for families.
