At The Speech Therapy Centre, we provide specialist assessment and personalised therapy for children and young people with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs. Our Paediatric team work closely with families, schools and other professionals to understand each child’s strengths, identify their needs and create a therapy programme that supports meaningful progress.
Our approach is child-centred, evidence-based and built around the goals that matter most to each child and their family.
Therapy designed around your child
No two children are the same, which is why every assessment and therapy programme is personalised. We take time to understand your child’s communication profile, interests, strengths and the environments in which they learn and interact.
Therapy is practical, engaging and purposeful, focusing on developing the skills that make the greatest difference in everyday life. Sessions may include play-based learning, structured activities, parent coaching and strategies that can be used consistently at home, nursery or school to maximise progress. Our aim is not only to develop communication skills but also to build confidence, participation and independence across all areas of a child’s life.
How we can help
We assess and support children and young people with a wide range of communication needs, including:
Whether your child needs support with saying words clearly, understanding language, expressing themselves or developing confidence when communicating, we provide therapy that is tailored to their individual needs.
Working in partnership
Children make the greatest progress when everyone works together. We believe families are at the heart of successful therapy and work collaboratively with parents and carers throughout the assessment and intervention process.
Where appropriate, we also liaise with nurseries, schools, SENCOs, teachers and other professionals to ensure consistent support across different environments. By sharing strategies and working towards common goals, we help children apply their communication skills in everyday situations.
Comprehensive support
Some children benefit from input from more than one professional. Where appropriate, we offer coordinated multidisciplinary support alongside Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Educational Psychologists and other professionals involved in your child’s care.
This collaborative approach allows us to develop shared goals, provide joined-up recommendations and ensure children receive the right support at the right time.
Flexible assessment and therapy
Appointments are available at our clinics, within educational settings, at home or online where appropriate.
Following a comprehensive assessment, we will explain our findings clearly, discuss your child’s strengths and areas of need, and provide practical recommendations together with an individualised therapy plan tailored to their goals.
