How do I make an appointment?
You can make an appointment if you are concerned about your child’s:
• Speech and language development
• Pronunciation or speech clarity
• Hearing loss, raised by professionals working with your child (e.g. a teacher, family doctor or day care worker)
• Learning or behavioural development, which you feel may be related to hearing loss
