The Awareness Kit has been handed out to several daycares / nursery school and schools.

Smiths Falls Town Council Meeting

Mayor Staples proclaimed May as Better Speech, Language and Hearing Month in Smiths Falls.

We showed our newly developed PowerPoint Presentation for the first time to council.
The presentation is called The Face of a Communication Disorder.
The presentation shows the faces of several children along with information about communication disorders
and the need for increased speech and language services.

Several of our children presented Smiths Falls Council each with a bookmarks to promote awareness and brochures.
The children also handed out pens & magnets to council supplied by Language Express.

Thanks to all the children, parents and Language Express for coming to this event.
