This service offers assessment, advice and treatment for children who have difficulties with speech, language and communication and/or eating and drinking. Therapists work closely with parents/carers, nurseries, playgroups and schools to ensure that children are supported at home and at pre-school or school.
Children are assessed using a combination of observation of playing and talking, listening to their speech and language, and sometimes more formal testing. Children who need treatment may be offered group or individual sessions. Group sessions will usually involve the direct participation of parents/carers; all sessions will involve parents/carers and sometimes pre-school/school teams in following up treatment session at home. The service works to a target of treatment starting within the 18 weeks.
