The Ontario Association for Families of Children with Communication Disorders started off as a small group of concerned parents and professionals. After incorporation in 1994 as a non-profit charity, OAFCCD has grown to a provincial organization that helps families of children with communication disorders to help give their children a voice.

OAFCCD was part of the movement that successfully lobbied the provincial government to implement the Preschool Speech and Language Programs in 1997. OAFCCD members actively advocate for services and programs in the schools and in the community.

Our Vision
All children will have access to a continuum of speech and language services to support their successful participation at home, in school and in the community.

Our Mission
Ontario Association for Families of Children with Communication Disorders (OAFCCD) works with families and community partners to ensure children have access to effective speech and language services.

The goals of OAFCCD are to:
