**About our Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) Programme**
Speech and Language Therapy is offered in individual or group settings, including social skills. Our
Speech-Language Therapists (SLTs) aim to build up the child’s fundamental speech, language and
communication skills to support his or her development and learning. Therapy is carried out in a
child-friendly, lively and bright environment. Language is aided and enhanced through fun and
functional activities.

The **work of a Speech-Language Therapist - Flexi Scheme** may involve:

Administering Speech-Language Assessments to identifying speech, language and
communication difficulties in clients for an age range of 5 years to 18 years.

language disorder, social communication difficulties, dyslexia, autism, ADHD, dyspraxia
and oral motor issues.
