The Speech and Language Therapy Drop In Service is not running as usual at the moment. You can contact us for a telephone appointment by ringing the Child Development Centre on 01535 292821 and leaving your contact details.
Children Up to 6 Years of Age
For children up to 6 years of age we offer a “Drop In” service where parents can bring their child to one of our clinics and discuss their speech, language and communication development. No appointment is necessary.
Please click on the links below for further details and dates of times of the Drop In sessions.
Children 6 Years of Age and Older
If your child is 6 years or older you will need to make a referral to the Speech & Language Therapy Service using our standard Referral Form, including Checklist, which is available below. Parents, carers, school staff, GPs and healthcare professionals can all refer directly to the Speech & Language Therapy service for children 6 years and over if there are concerns about a child’s communication skills.
