The team works in partnership with parents, carers, professionals and voluntary groups to make sure our clients get the support that is right for them.
Speech and language therapists assess, diagnose and treat people who have speech, language and communications needs and feeding difficulties. We do this in a variety of places, including children's centres, clinics and schools.
Professionals can use the referral form to refer to this service. There are also pre-involvement questionnaires which can be completed by the school SENCO or class teacher ahead of the speech and language assessment. See downloads section.
If you have any questions about the changes to this service, please contact Linda or Lesley in the Speech and Language Therapy Department on 0161 912 2592.
Speech and Language Therapists would like to prompt EY practitioners and schools to refer children into SLT rather than asking parents to self-refer, as the quality of the information received from practitioners helps us to triage the referrals appropriately.
Please note: Children/parents requiring an interpreter will not be asked to opt in and will be offered a clinic appointment with an interpreter.
