WHAT THIS PAGE IS FOR

Upcoming opportunities for families across Toronto.

Our Special Events page is where you’ll find upcoming opportunities to learn, connect, and access expert speech and language support — including free speech and language screenings, parent workshops, and interactive community events designed for families with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children.

Whether you’re wondering if your child is a late talker, have questions about speech clarity, or want to learn more about language development, autism, and early literacy — our events are designed to provide practical guidance in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.

FREE SPEECH & LANGUAGE SCREENINGS

Quick, informal screenings to check in on your child’s communication.

A brief, informal screening can help identify whether your child’s communication skills are developing as expected — or whether additional support may be beneficial.

Ideal for families concerned about:

  • Late talking or delayed first words
  • Difficulty combining words into sentences
  • Unclear speech or pronunciation concerns
  • Social communication or autism-related concerns
  • Early literacy and school readiness skills

Screening appointments are limited and advance registration is required.
