Speech and language therapy

If your child has not been seen by a speech and language therapist, you can ask your GP or their school to refer them to their local service.

You can search for independent speech and language therapists in your area using the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice’s directory - https://asltip.com/find-a-speech-therapist/

Speech and Language UK has resources for parents, educators and professionals and an advice line for parents to discuss concerns they have about their child’s speech and language development.
