Free speech-language screenings at Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester and Beverly Hospital in Beverly

May is Better Speech & Hearing Month. The Speech-Language Therapy Department at Beverly Hospital will sponsor free pediatric speech/language screenings at Addison Gilbert and Beverly and hospitals through May 31 for children 11 months-18 years

Screenings will be conducted by a member of the Speech-Language Therapy Department, which will take approximately 20-30 minutes to identify if a child is developmentally appropriate in terms of their speech, language or feeding skills. If a child qualifies for further evaluation, a speech/language pathologist will assist parents in scheduling a comprehensive speech/language evaluation.

Screenings will take place in Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine at Addison Gilbert Hospital, 298 Washington St., Gloucester, and at Beverly Hospitals Speech-language Therapy Outpatient Clinic, directly on Herrick Street in Beverly.

Times available by appointment only. Call 978-283-4000, ext. 141 (Addison Gilbert Hospital) or 978-816-2690 (Beverly Hospital) to schedule a free screening. For questions or comments, e-mail sgriffin@nhs-healthlink.org
