We are a team of qualified Speech and Language Therapists and Speech and Language Therapy assistants who assess, diagnose and treat children (from birth to 18 years old) who have speech, language and communications needs and feeding difficulties.
The team can offer support in a variety of places, including nurseries, clinics, and mainstream and special schools.
To support children’s speech, language, communication needs and feeding difficulties.
The service supports children and young people with swallowing/ feeding difficulties and/ or speech, language and communication needs in Trafford in order for them to reach their full potential, improve health and wellbeing and prepare for adulthood. Patients must have a Trafford GP. (We will see some children with a Manchester GP who attend a Trafford School)
We also provide a dysfluency service for adults.
The service:
- Provides a full assessment and accurate diagnosis of the child’s swallowing/ feeding difficulties and/ or speech, language and communication needs, by a qualified Speech and Language Therapist
- Provides an appropriate treatment plan that meets their needs
- Liaises with other professionals involved, to work holistically in improving the child’s outcomes.
