Paediatric SLT
Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy
Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy provides family-centred support for children who have difficulties with speech, language, communication and feeding.
These services are available via:
Self-pay
Our experienced team of therapists will work with you and your child to create a treatment programme around your specific situation and goals. Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy is a holistic service that aims to help your child with difficulties relating to communication.
We offer flexible treatment options where needed and our Speech and Language Therapists may be able to offer home, nursery and school visits.
We are firm believers in multi-disciplinary working and encourage liaising with other people involved in your child’s care, such as Teachers, GPs, Health Visitors and other health professionals. You can also relax in knowing that our team follows the high standards set out by the Health and Care Professionals Council, meaning that our assessments and treatment approaches are evidence-based and current.
Our self-pay option provides an easily accessible solution for parents/carers who are looking for a timely, professionally recognised Speech and Language Therapy assessment for their child.
How can Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy help my child?
At Provide Wellbeing, we believe that every child has the right to reach their highest speech, language, voice and communication potential. We recognise that problems with speaking and communicating can be life-changing, and can be a cause of concern and anxiety for the family.
Our self-pay Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy service supports children and young people (from 2 to 18 years) to communicate and to overcome a wide range of developmental difficulties and disorders
Who Will Conduct the Therapy?
All therapy sessions are conducted by HCPC-registered Speech and Language Therapists. Each therapist is highly skilled in treating speech and language disorders in children and offers a compassionate, child-centred approach to care.
What to Expect Before Your Appointment
Prior to your appointment, you will be sent a questionnaire to complete regarding your child’s history, concerns, and developmental milestones.
This information helps the SLT prepare for the initial assessment and ensures that the session is tailored to your child’s needs.
What Will Your First Appointment Be Like?
During your child’s first assessment, which typically lasts around 60 minutes, the SLT will use a range of play-based assessments to make the experience as fun and stress-free as possible. You will be provided with a summary of the findings and recommendations at the end of the session.
How Do Speech Issues Present Themselves?
Speech and language issues can manifest in several ways, including:
- Delayed speech development
- Difficulty understanding or using language
- Struggles with forming certain sounds
- Stammering or difficulty with fluent speech
- Problems with social interaction and communication
Each child’s needs are unique, so our assessments are tailored to understand their specific difficulties.
Do You Accept NHS Referrals or Insurance?
Yes, we accept NHS referrals for paediatric speech and language therapy. We also offer self-pay options for those who do not qualify for NHS support. Additionally, some private insurance policies may cover the cost of therapy, depending on your plan. Please contact us or your insurance provider to confirm coverage.
Free Initial Telephone Consultation
We offer a free initial telephone consultation where parents can discuss their concerns with one of our SLTs. This helps us determine whether a formal assessment is necessary and answer any questions you may have about the process.
