Speech and Language Therapy for Children

cartoon children and speech bubbles

Our aim is to provide a high-quality, specialist service for children with:

  • Speech, language and communication difficulties
  • Eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties

For further information on the service, please see the video below:

If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, it may be helpful to discuss this initially with your health visitor or your child’s teacher.

Who Is It For?

Children develop communication skills from birth. Speech, language and communication skills develop at different rates. Some develop quickly.

We may work with children who have difficulty using speech sounds, language delay, a developmental language disorder, hearing impairment, cleft palate, stammering, autism/social interaction difficulties, or hoarse voice.

We may also work with babies who have feeding and swallowing difficulties.

Can Anyone Use This Service?

Yes, we have an open referral system for communication problems.

Opening Times
Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm

What to Expect

At your initial appointment the therapist will discuss your concerns and, depending on why your child has been referred, will want to find out about different areas of your child’s speech and language development. The therapist will be able to find out lots of this information by playing with your child, or they may carry out an assessment for older children.

At the end of the appointment the therapist will decide if your child would benefit from help to develop their skills, and will discuss the best way forward for your child with you.
