Language Express

Language Express is a team of Speech-Language Pathologists, Communicative Disorders Assistants, and support staff working across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. We provide speech, language, and social communication assessment and therapy for children from birth to the end of Junior Kindergarten. Our services are funded by the Ontario government and are free for families.

We accept referrals for children from birth to November 30 of the year they enter Junior Kindergarten. Children referred before the deadline can continue to receive service until the end of Junior Kindergarten. Children must live in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville counties.
