The Children’s Speech and Language Therapy Service provides assessment and intervention for children and young people with a range of speech, language and communication needs. This will include those who have:
• Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
• Social Communication difficulties including those associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Speech Disorders
• Stammering
• Hearing Impairment
• Complex needs

Services are provided in settings which include mainstream primary and secondary schools, community clinics and special schools. Speech and Language Therapists have a role in working with children and young people, and the adults who care for and educate them.

We also have an Eating and Drinking clinic service which provides assessment and intervention for children and young people who have difficulties swallowing and are at risk of food and drink going into their lungs.
