ASK Clinics (formerly known as DEIPP Assessment Clinics)
ASK is designed for families with children 6 months of age to August 31st of their junior kindergarten year that live in the Halton Community. The purpose of ASK is to provide a quick 15 minute consultation for parents who have questions about their child’s development. If it is evident to a parent or professional that there are existing developmental concerns ASK is not appropriate. Instead, a referral for a full assessment should be made directly to the appropriate services. For example: speech, hearing and developmental organizations.
ASK offers consultations with professionals from community agencies in the following areas:
Hearing An Audiologist will provide a brief check of your child’s hearing. For infant hearing, call ErinoakKids.
Behaviour A Consultant will briefly discuss your questions and concerns regarding parenting and your child’s behavior.
Development A Consultant can talk to you about any concerns you might have and can answer questions about your child’s overall development.
A Public Health Nurse will also be available at clinics to provide information on nutrition, safety, immunization, parenting, etc.
