Speech and Language

What is SALT?

Our Speech and Language Therapists are qualified to work with a range of language, literacy and communication difficulties from late talkers, to stammering and attention and listening difficulties to children with reading comprehension problems. All our therapists have additional training in literacy and therefore we work with both spoken and written language difficulties.
