What is a speech & language therapist?
If you are concerned about your child’s ability to follow what you’re saying or to get their message across, a speech and language therapist has the skills and knowledge to work out what’s going on and what to do about it. I am a speech and language therapist with over 20 years experience of working with children with speech, language and communication needs.
