Speech and Language Therapy for Children
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.
How can I refer my child to the service?
Before you refer your child to us, please see initially some advice and strategies on how you can I support your child at home.
Most of our referrals come from professionals. They can usually provide us with the information we need and they can often put some initial support in place. Please talk to your child’s Health Visitor or Teacher about referring to Speech and Language Therapy.
Alternatively, you are welcome to self-refer. Please complete the ‘Request for Assistance Form’ and return it to CTM.ReferralsChildrensSLT@wales.nhs.uk
