Speech and Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapists work with a huge variety of people – from young children who stammer, to older people recovering from stroke and other brain injuries.

They aim to help give them ‘voice’ by improving their communication abilities and addressing their swallowing, eating and drinking difficulties.
