What do I do?

The first step is to have a comprehensive speech and language assessment completed on your child.
At Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center a speech language pathologist can complete an assesement to determine the nature and extent of the problem and wheter or not your child is a candidate for the program.

To schedule an evaluation, please call 716-885-8318, ext 500. Please tell the scheduler that you are interested in an evaluation for the Language to Literacy Program.
If you are unsure whether your child needs an evaluation or have further questions about the program, please call Christina Farr, at 885-8318 ext. 252.
