The Children’s Speech and Language Therapy Service is made up of a team of speech and language therapists and support workers who provide support to children and young people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
They offer a range of services to support children and young people who have difficulties with:
- Speech, language and communication skills
- Eating, drinking and swallowing skills
The service works closely with families, parents and carers to improve children and young people’s progress in these areas and to ensure that their potential for learning, social and emotional development is reached.
When an episode of care with the service ends, parents and carers may be given some strategies to support their child and can be referred back to the team if further support is required.
They work in partnership with a range of other agencies and colleagues including schools, early years settings, children’s centres, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, medical teams and the voluntary sector.
