Grande Prairie, AB, May 25, 2022 - If your child is 3, 4 or 5 years old as of June 20 or June 27, and you plan to enroll them in a GPPSD school, they may qualify for a free speech and language screening.

How do you know if your child may need early speech and language intervention?
Do you have the following concerns:

• I am worried about my child's speech and language development
• I am not sure my child is talking as much as they should
• Family, friends and I have a hard time understanding what my child is trying to say
  
• I am not sure my child understands what I am saying to them

If yes, your child may benefit from early speech and language intervention.

When and where are the screenings happening?
