Supporting children with speech and language disorders and learning differences from preschool through young adulthood.
Our Mission
The Montreal Fluency Centre is a multilingual not-for-profit clinic working in partnership with the community to serve the needs of children with difficulties in communication, stuttering, learning and literacy. Through Speech-Language Therapy and Psycho-Educational services, our goal is to reduce the long-term risks of these difficulties and minimize the impact that they may have on children’s lives.
The Challenge
- 35% of children in Quebec are unprepared to enter school
- Quebec's dropout rate is 29%
- Remote areas of Quebec are often at highest risk of school failure and have limited access to services
- Many high risk children are disadvantaged because their families can't afford language therapy
- Average wait time for treatment is 18 months in the public sector
- Treatment takes longer than necessary without a home program to support its goals
- Immigrant families with multiple languages often constitute complex clinical cases that few clinicians are comfortable treating
The MFC Solution
- Through early and effective therapy, we increase academic readiness and close this gap
- By treating children through all educational transitions from preschool to high school, we reduce dropout rates and school failures
- We make our treatments available to remote communities via telepractice, using our video-conferencing facilities
- Bursaries are available to families who need financial assistance- no child is ever turned away for an inability to pay
- Our average wait time is 3 months
- We develop and train a full support team- including parents- from both within and outside the clinic to enhance treatment effectiveness ensure the child's success
- We specialize in complex clinical cases and develop community partnership to enable treatment programs to reach such families
