Parents with young children are encouraged to get their kids screened for speech problems during Better Speech and Hearing Month.

Guthrie County pre-schoolers are eligible for a free speech and language screening at Guthrie County Hospital.

Children from ages two to five can have the screening done in order to determine if they need further evaluation for articulation, sentence structure, vocabulary, comprehension or social skills. To schedule an appointment, call 641-332-3810.
