Speech & language therapy
Speech, language and swallowing assessment for children and adults, with a home practice plan agreed at each visit.
Book a sessionSpeech, language and swallowing support for every age
The speech and language therapy service assesses difficulties with speech clarity, language development, communication and swallowing, seeing both children and adults. A first session covers a detailed assessment before therapy goals are agreed with you or your child's parent.
Each session ends with a home practice plan, so the work done in the clinic is reinforced between visits rather than left there. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
