Speech Therapy

Speech therapy aims to develop a child’s understanding and use of language. Speech therapy can help a child to express themselves clearly, understand verbal and written language, clearly pronounce words and minimise stuttering. If a child is experiencing difficulty in one or more of these areas, a speech therapist can help them to communicate so they can confidently participate in everyday life.
