About this service
Through the North Words Preschool Speech and Language Program, the NWHU offers free speech and language assessments and interventions for children from birth until the time they enter senior kindergarten. Preschool speech and language assessments, and interventions will be completed at your local health unit, or at other locations like daycares, nursery schools, or head start programs.
About one in every 10 children needs help to develop these speech and language skills. Early identification and intervention is important so children can enter school ready to learn.
Speech and language assessments
North Words provides assessments to determine the child's speech and language strengths and needs, and then identify goals and strategies to support the development of communication skills. Learn more about what to expect at a speech and language assessment.
