Speech & Language
Sometimes we may seek support for a child from the Speech and Language Therapist (SLT for short).
The Speech and Language Therapist is a health professional who helps children with speech, language and/or communication difficulties.
Speech and Language Therapists work with parents/carers and others to assess if a child has speech and/or language difficulties, communication or eating and drinking difficulties. The therapist will consider the difficulties the child has and the impact these will have on his/her life.
If appropriate the therapist will decide how the child can be helped to reach their full communication potential.
They sometimes provide in-service training for teachers and other staff.
