Speech and Language Therapy (Children's)

  • Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) aims to support children and young people to reach their full potential with speech, language and communication. We also support children with feeding and swallowing. We work with other key people involved in children's lives such as families, other health professionals , education and social care colleagues. Children are seen in clinic, their educational setting or at home for assessment and intervention if they meet the threshold for the specialist SLT service.
