Meet Rowen & his family

Rowen is a Grandview Kid. Diagnosed with Developmental Speech and Language Disorder means Rowen has a severe speech delay with motor planning issues.

For years, Rowen’s family has been told that they’re lucky “it’s just speech.” Rowen’s mom Laurie says it’s much more than that.

“It’s Rowen crying because he fell, got hurt and is unable to tell us what happened. It’s kids excluding him from play because he’s not playing the way they are. It’s the crushed look Rowen gives you etime he tells someone something and they turn to us and ask, ‘what did he say?’” 

Rowen has been receiving speech therapy services at Grandview Children’s Centre since 2013 and at five years old, Rowen is currently attending Grandview's co-located educational partner, Campbell Children’s School.
