Children with cerebral palsy can experience difficulties with particular speech sounds, voice problems and stammers, understanding verbal language and issues using language, attention and listening skills, expressive language, vocabulary and word finding, speech sounds, fluency and voice. Children with neuro-disability and those born prematurely are also at risk of dysphagia, affecting feeding, swallowing and breath control.
Many families struggle to access speech and language therapy via the NHS as this service is often delayed, sporadic or even non-existent. Our therapist supports children through one-to-ones, small group sessions and parent information drop-ins.
