Refugees and IFHP

Refugees

If you are a refugee in Canada, you may be eligible for Speech Therapy services under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). All of our Speech Language Pathologists are registered with IFHP. If you would like speech therapy, please send us your 9-digit IFHP number and a doctor’s referral for Speech Therapy to info@andalusiaspeech.com or fax 416 698 8127. Once we receive that information, we can get you started!

What to expect during your visit:

A Speech Therapist will first gather a history of the individual’s experience of hearing loss as well as an understanding of their current use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. They will then determine the person’s ability to hear a range of frequencies (e.g. high pitch, low pitch). Finally, the therapist will assess how well the person can tell the difference between words that sound the same except for one difference (e.g. “bat” and “mat”; “fire” and “file”).

For older individuals, we will look into ways to make work life or social situations easier with the new hearing technology.

For younger children, we may assess their speech and language level to help them continue to develop their communication skills with their enhanced hearing.
