The Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy Service provides assessment, therapy and advice for children up to the age of 5 years who have speech, language and communication needs.
We also support older children who have specialist health needs.
We assess and treat children who require support with:
> Attention and listening
> Complex needs - where more than one service is supporting your child
> Social Communication
> Play
> Speech
> Social Communication
> Fluency
> Feeding and swallowing
We see children in community clinics, homes and early years settings including children centres. We have a strong focus on working in partnership with parents and educational settings to maximise children’s progress.
Our Speech and Language Therapy team is made up of qualified speech and language therapists, therapy assistants and admin staff. All therapists are registered with the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC) as well as the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
