Common Questions Ajax Parents Ask
“Do you serve all areas of Ajax?”
Yes! Whether you are down by the Lake, in Central Ajax near Harwood, or up in the newer communities of Northeast Ajax, we come to you.
“How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?”
Consider reaching out if your child:
- Isn't saying first words by 18 months
- Has fewer than 50 words by age 2
- Isn't combining words by age 2.5
- Is difficult to understand at age 3
“Is private speech therapy covered by insurance?”
Many extended health plans in Ontario include speech-language pathology. We provide detailed receipts for insurance submission.
“What’s the difference between OHIP and private speech therapy?”
OHIP funded services (like Grandview Kids) often have waitlists. Private therapy offers immediate starts, more frequent sessions, and the convenience of coming to your home.
