We provide evidence based specialist support to children (0-19) with a range of specific speech, language and communication difficulties and those with difficulties swallowing, eating and drinking.
The Children’s Speech and Language Therapy service is currently experiencing high demand which means there are long waiting times for appointments. At present, there are waits of several months for an initial assessment. For children who meet the threshold to access treatment, there is a second wait of several months. We recognise that this information may be concerning to you and we are actively working with the CCG Health Commissioners of the service and the Local Authority on long-term solutions so that children can access support in a more reasonable timescale.
