WHAT IS A SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST?
Paediatric Speech and Language Therapists provide assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic treatment for a range of speech, language and communication difficulties.
For example, we work with language delay or disorder, speech sound delay or disorder, dyspraxia, cleft palate and children with social communication difficulties such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
We also work with children with feeding and swallowing difficulties. Therapy focuses on maximising a child's ability to communicate and activities are play based.
Treatment plans may include direct one to one therapy, group therapy, and advice for home/nursery/school settings. Reports and programmes may also be provided.
