The Centre of Excellence for Speech and Language Development is housed at the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), and is part of the Inclusive Education Services (IES), which is a provincial service designed to offer support and expertise to the English-speaking education community, having in mind the well-being and the academic success of all Anglophone students, notwithstanding their individual challenges. The IES is funded and mandated by the Ministère de l'Éducation (MEQ).
