Children's Speech & Language Therapy Team

The Speech and Language Therapy Service provides assessment, advice, direct and indirect interventions for patients with speech, language and communication disorders.

The Speech and Language Therapy Service considers the role of parents, carers and other significant people to be vital in maximising effective communication. Much work is therefore concerned with working to improve communicative ability by training and supporting those in the person’s communicative environment.

Please ask for a referral from one of the following:
