Speech Therapy in mainstream schools
January 10, 2008
With growing numbers of children having speech and language difficulties, NHS speech therapists can struggle to meet the demand. Often they can only visit schools once a term and act more as consultants, leaving programmes of work, rather than doing individual therapy.
With permission from Education and a child’s carer, private speech and language therapists are able to offer therapy within the school or nursery setting. This is often more convenient than parents having to take their children out of school to attend appointments. Where therapy occurs in school regular contact is made with parents to update them of the progress made and also to give homework.
If you work within a school or nursery, or are a parent of a child with speech and language difficulties, please contact us at sltconsultancy@gmail.com for information regarding private speech therapy.
