Montreal Fluency Centre

Assists children who present speech or language difficulties as well as learning differences

The Montreal Fluency Centre (MFC) assists children who present speech or language difficulties as well as learning differences, from pre-school age to adulthood. Working with parents, daycare educators and teaching staff in schools, the organization provides services to children who stutter or who have difficulties in communication, learning or reading. Using speech therapy and psychopedagogical approaches, it aims to diminish the risks and long-term consequences associated with these types of difficulties. As well, the Centre offers offsite services, for example group training, mentoring, and treatment.

In 2020, the MFC was the recipient of a $15,000 grant from the Malouf Family Fund, and received support in the amount of $5,000 in phase 1 of the Emergency Community Support Fund in order to adapt its services to the pandemic context. Indeed, despite the constraints imposed by COVID-19, MFC maintained its commitment to offering speech therapy and psychopedagogy services to youth and families, in many cases using telepractice.
