The Ontario Ministry of Health, Public Health Branch awarded $20 million dollars, in 1997, to District Health Councils throughout the Province of Ontario in support of preschool speech-language services. These dollars have been designated to enhance already existing services, and is not allowed to replace any pre-existing services that have been discontinued. An extra $2.2 million was released in April, 1999 to further assist initiatives in their implementation. All the dollars flow through health funded agencies.

The Language Express© PSL currently receives $327,920.00 annually to enhance the pre-existing Preschool Speech-Language Services provided through the Partner Agencies of this System. Funding for the Language Express© Preschool Speech-Language Service System is provided, monitored and audited as a separate budget centre, not within, nor impacted by, the global operational budget of the sponsoring Board of Health.
