The World Pediatric Project (WPP) has teamed up with local non profit organization Helping Hands SVG.
The WPP, this week, was conducting a three-day clinic aimed at assisting parents with children who are experiencing various speech delays.
The team of experts along with local personnel conducted a clinic at the Helping Hands centre at New Montrose.
The WPP’s mission commenced on Sunday January 28th and concluded on Tuesday January 30th.
Since the start date of the 28th, the team has seen approximately 130 families.
American Speech and Language pathologist, Sarah Cunningham encouraged parents to integrate playing with toys in children’s routines. Ms. Cunningham said that the priority is to ensure that both parent and child are comfortable and the child is engaged in the activity that would help to prompt progress in the child’s development.
