Many people access private (sometimes called ‘independent’) Speech and Language Therapy because of the flexibility it can provide or to supplement NHS therapy. Please note that Speech Therapy is available through the NHS - for further information about this please speak to your child’s Health Visitor or GP.

- Detailed assessment of your child’s speech and language skills and needs.
- Regular therapy sessions at times to suit you.
- Liaison and advice for nurseries and schools.
- Flexible appointment times including early evening and Saturdays.
- Appointments in your own home or at your child’s nursery or school.
- Tailor-made therapy based around your child’s specific needs, ensuring that it is motivating and enjoyable for your child.
- Activities and games to do at home or school between sessions.
