Language impairment

The language impairment program is intended for children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region who have a language disorder diagnosis confirmed by a professional.

To address the needs of children, families and loved ones in daily life, services are organized into two components:

  • Development of abilities for children aged 2 to 5
  • Social participation for youth aged 6 to 17 

Services offered for language impairment

  • Individual intervention services with the child (regularly involving a parent or loved one)
  • Group intervention services for youth
  • Support services for parents and caregivers
  • Support for integration into living environments (e.g., daycare, school, recreational activities)
     

How to access services

Intake, analysis, guidance, and referral services (AAOR) is the main entry point to the CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent for CLSC service requests. This service receives your request, reviews it, directs you to the appropriate service or refers you to the appropriate agency according to your needs. To access this service (in French).

To obtain more information about the language impairment program, contact the AAOR or one of the physical rehabilitation centres (CRDP).
