Limitations of Machine Translations on this website
The website of Lansdowne Children’s Centre and its web pages are originally published in English. Any translation of the website and its web pages in other languages may be imprecise and inaccurate in whole or in part. Some content, for example pages of the News Blog, are not able to be translated by this service. The translation process used on this website for languages other than English is offered by a “machine translation” for the convenience of our visitors. It is advisable to speak to an experienced cultural interpreter to provide you with a precise and accurate translation in your native language. We hope that this resource provides greater access to critical information regarding the supports and services offered by Lansdowne Children’s Centre, for children and youth with communication, developmental and physical special needs, and their families, and the many community members and organizations who support our work.
