About this service
Vancouver Coastal Health's Early Childhood Speech-Language Pathologists are committed to making sure children aged 0-5 years reach their full speech, language, and communication potential. Speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) use a variety of activities to help children learn new speech and language skills. During the first appointment the S-LP will evaluate how well a child is talking and listening. The S-LP looks at: pronunciation, how well the tongue and lips move, how children understand and use language, and if there any voice, hearing, or stuttering problems. In the therapy sessions the S-LP will: Show parents how to help children learn better ways to talk Play games and use books and toys as fun ways to help children learn Check children's progress in communication skills as they grow and develop S-LPs may go to childcare centres and community settings to provide support to teachers and help children communicate better with friends.
