My sister was in speech therapy as a child, which was one small difficulty she faces. Waiting lists are a huge problem in Ontario for all avenues and spectrum's related to development, it is very sad. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327837992881992817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-79175502257643122082013-04-04T13:09:39.687-04:002013-04-04T13:09:39.687-04:00I can't believe they make kids and families wa...I can't believe they make kids and families wait for so long.

Having a Waiting list that is 6-8 months long is not okay.<br /><br />My sister just signed my niece up for speech therapy maybe about a week and a half ago. She lives in California and is still waiting on Just Us Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001357505007179541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-35363303262142860942013-04-04T09:39:46.961-04:002013-04-04T09:39:46.961-04:00My little guy will be 2 next month and he only say...My little guy will be 2 next month and he only says a handful of words. The doctor recommended that we see a specialist but the specialist said that we could hold off for a while until he's a little older to see if he progresses a little later.

The list is long here too - I don't really know what the answer is (I understand why they have it through health, but if you can't communicate you can't learn, so I think it should be done through both Health AND Education)Ashley P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09025542342920593028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858371658025206367.post-53087130609848890002013-04-04T07:56:47.057-04:002013-04-04T07:56:47.057-04:00Oh my goodness Ashley we should talk. My daughter ...Oh my goodness Ashley we should talk. My daughter was approved four years ago by CCAC for help through special services at home. But there is no funding so hundreds of kids sit on the wait list annually in Ontario. London is a particular bad spot.
