Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and Language Therapists can work with children of all ages 0-18 years.
Children come to see us because there are concerns about:
- Feeding
- Speech and Language development (understanding and using language)
- Speech clarity
- Voice quality
- Stammering
- Social and interactional skills
- Listening and attention
- Literacy
- General global delay
- Autism
Children are referred by:
- GPs
- Paediatricians
- Paediatric Neurologists
- Otolaryngologsists / ENT Specialists
- Psychologists and Psychiatrists
- Other professionals
- Schools and Nurseries
- Parents
We carry out an assessment to establish the nature of the child's difficulties and suggest a therapy programme comprising:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- A combination of Individual and Group therapy
- School programme
- Home programme
- Review monitoring
Speech Language Therapists and Therapy Assistants are able to follow through programmes at school and at home.
The programmes are supervised on a weekly basis by a senior Speech and Language Therapist.
The child's progress is monitored to ensure that the programme fulfils the child's needs and that the mode of therapy is the most appropriate.
