Upon completion of this upgrading program, the student in Language Intervention will have acquired the necessary scientific and practical knowledge in a government sponsored educational program designed in collaboration with the Order of Speech Language Pathologists & Audiologists and the Cégep de la Pocatière.

The language intervention graduate works with children 0 to 12 years of age.

In compliance with the treatment arranged by the speech therapist and his/her intervention plan, the graduate works to stimulate the child to use good communication practices.

He organizes, coordinates and leads activities in order to support the learning and acquisition of communication behaviours and attitudes.

He detects relevant indicators in the child’s behaviour and development.

In order to exercise his profession, the graduate must foster a good relationship with the child and the family circle; complicity with caregivers and the main service providers involved.

The program allows candidates to acquire the skills to respond appropriately to children who exhibit difficulties or language problems, under the supervision of Speech Therapists and in close collaboration with health care and education professionals.
