Speech & Language for Early Years
We understand the importance of providing all children with a solid foundation in the early years to help them achieve the best start in life.
Speech & Language for Primary School
‘More than half of children starting education in socially deprived areas of England have delayed language, while their cognitive abilities are in the average range for their age’ (Gascoigne, 2012)
Speech & Language for Secondary School
Did you know? Children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs perform significantly lower than their peers at GCSEs (DfE GCSE results, 2016)
Speech & Language for Specialist Provision (0-25)
Speech, language and communication needs continue to be the most prevalent special educational need. We believe that access to specialist communication support is essential for our young students to reach their full potential.
Speech, Language & Communication Needs
What is Speech & Language Therapy? Why might it be necessary? Who can benefit?
Who are WMSLT? How can we help?
West Midlands Speech & Language Therapy are a well-established team of qualified and highly experienced therapists providing a quality, bespoke service to our clients. We work with children and young people with communication difficulties from 0-25 years across numerous settings including nursery schools, children’s centres/clinics, mainstream primary and secondary schools as well as in specialist provision for young children and adults.
