Working with Parents
Our team of experienced Early Years speech & language therapists work in partnership with parents through your child’s Early Years provider / Educational setting to support and advise on speech, language and communication development in the early years. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to work with families in their own home or in clinic.
Who will benefit from Speech & Language Therapy support?
Speech Language and Communication skills are critical to a child’s learning and social development. Without communication children struggle to learn, make friends and engage with the world around them (www.talkingpoint.org.uk 2017). We work with Early Years Providers / Educational Settings to ensure there is a far-reaching benefit to all.
Who needs our support?
We work with children who experience a wide range of difficulties linked to:
• Attention and Listening development
• Delayed play skills
• Understanding Language
• Putting words together to talk
• Speech Sound development
• Stammering/Dysfluency
• Social Communication & Sensory difficulties
• Learning & Cognition
Where Are We Based?
As a service we are commissioned by educational settings, where we welcome family involvement in the children's speech and language therapy interventions. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to work with parents and children in their home or clinic.
What should I do if I’m concerned about my child’s speech and language ?
If you are concerned about your child’s speech, language and communication development then speak to their educational provider and your GP. Lots of parental advice regarding speech and language development can be found at www.ican.org.uk
