Speech and Language
Given the continued spread of COVID-19 worldwide, we have had to make changes to some programs and services.
Early Expressions Preschool Speech and Language program provides services through telepractice to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission (e.g., email, phone, videoconferencing). In some cases, in-person visits will be scheduled. We will discuss options with you.
Welcome to Early Expressions Preschool Speech and Language Program. Early Expressions provides free speech and language services to children from birth to JK living in Kingston, Frontenac, and Lennox & Addington.
If you, your family doctor, and or child care provider have concerns about your child's speech and language skills, you may decide to make a referral to Early Expressions. By making a referral to this program, you are requesting a speech and language assessment by a speech-language pathologist.
You can make a referral online in English or French or call us directly at 613-546-3854 or 1-800-267-7875 Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If you are unsure if a referral is needed, please review Communication Milestones for your child's age. Looking at the milestones will help you decide if a referral is needed. If you need help, call Early Expressions at 613-546-3854 or 1-800-267-7875 Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
While you wait for you first appointment, learn about What You Can Do Now and consider attending some free Community Programs to help develop your child's speech and language skills.
