Speech Therapy for Children in Ontario Needs to be a Priority. Let's Make it one!

Speech Advocacy for Children is easy as 1-2-3.

Step 1- Join Community

 

This is important to stay informed of the latest developments. Become aware of the current state of services across the province. Even if you do not complete steps two or three you may be moved to do so in the future.  The power of community cannot be underestimated.  Collectively we can have a powerful voice.

 

 

Step 2-    Advocate-Here is how

Download petition and have people from your community sign.

Send a message to your MPP

Send a message to your LHIN
