The Language Express© Preschool Speech-Language (PSL) Service System is a system of service providers rendering early identification, direct assessment / treatment speech-language services, transition to school supports (Model for Service Delivery of Speech - Language Pathology Services - To School Age Children), and educational opportunities to families and community agencies of preschool children (birth to age 5), in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Counties. These services are provided through pre-existing Partner Agencies, and through enhanced service providers, made available through Ontario Public Health dollars. 

The Language Express© was created by community providers and stakeholders in communication development, a response to a call for proposals by the Ministry of Health in 1996. The Lead Agency for this Preschool Speech System is the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. The Language Express© Central Office is housed in the Smiths Falls offices of the District Health Unit, and serves 5 Partner Agencies. This PSL System operates on an integrated model of services. Infant development workers, speech-language pathologists and their assistants see children, providing the services that best fit the needs of each child at each stage of development,.

The Language Express© PSL is known across the country as a leader in the development of education and health promotion materials, and community agency training opportunities in the communication field. All services are performed in collaboration with families, hospitals, community agencies, the child care sector, family physicians and school boards to provide a comprehensive, integrated set of services.
