Speech-Language Pathology Department
Who We Are and What We Do

How do I get to see a Speech-Language Pathologist?
• You can refer yourself or your child or family member to see a Speech-Language Pathologist.
• A nurse, physician, preschool worker, etc. can recommend that you and/or your child see a Speech-Language Pathologist. Your approval as a parent is needed before an assessment can be completed with your child.
• Phone and speak to the Speech-Language Pathologist if you would like to refer yourself or a family member for an assessment. Please refer to our "Find Us" section for contact information in your area.
• You will be mailed a case history form. It is important that you fill out and return the case history as soon as possible. An appointment cannot be booked until the case history form is returned. Phone if you have problems filling it out.
• For pre-school children, there is approximately a 6-month wait for a screening of speech-language skills. At that time, suggestions will be provided. Then there is another approximate 6-month wait for a full assessment, at which time, home programming, individual treatment, group treatment, re-evaluation after a certain time period, or a discharge will be recommended.
