Speech and language therapy provides assessment, treatment, support and care for children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing. The paediatric speech and language therapists see children and young people in clinic or other settings (such as school or home) depending on where it is most helpful to provide support. We have an open referral system – please contact us directly if you would like general advice or if you have concerns that require specific help. If you would like to look for information online, we recommend these excellent websites: www.thecommunicationtrust.org.uk and www.talkingpoint.org.uk
