May is Speech and Hearing Month! As a speech pathologist working in private practice in Barrie, I wanted to take this opportunity to inform families on the importance of early identification for children. With 1 out of every 10 Canadians living with a communication difficulty, speech pathologists and audiologists can help. We are trained professionals that work in a number of environments and provide services for children and adults. If you suspect your child has a speech, language or hearing problem, then trust your instincts and contact a speech pathologist or audiologist today.
