| FIRST WORDS - "Let's talk by two" | | | Early identification makes all the difference.
It is the key to a child’s best start in life and is crucial to life success. At First Words, early identification of speech and language delays is important. We encourage families to attend our First Words community screening clinics. These free First Words screening clinics help families determine if their preschool child needs further speech and language services. Ottawa families with children aged birth to eligibility for Senior Kindergarten can attend, no appointment needed. For more information on our screening clinics, visit www.firstwords.ca or call Ottawa Public Health for more information at (613) 580-6744 ext. 28020. "Let's talk by 2" with you!
TALK with your child throughout the day, every day.
READ to your child every day. | | |
