Information For Service Providers

It’s often hard for parents to know if their child has a speech and language problem. They should trust their instincts. Providers of service to children and young families have an important role in supporting parents. Here’s how you can help:

  • become more familiar with speech and language milestones
  • help to educate parents about normal speech and language milestones
  • encourage parents to check their child’s speech and language development
  • reinforce the importance of early identification

The centralized referral phone line allows anyone - parents, early childhood educators, doctors and other service providers to refer a child to a Speech Language Pathologist for assessment. If a parent is concerned about the way their child’s speech and language skills are developing they should be encouraged to call 519-272-8216 or
1-866-333-7716 and ask for . With a parents consent, someone else can make a referral to on their behalf.
