Description

The service is for any child under the age of 5 at risk or experiencing developmental delays with speech and communication. The development of this service will meet a gap in clinical service provision, reduce waiting list pressures and allow current SLT staff in Locala teams to then focus on the children who require EHCP documentation. This is a pilot project. The pilot will involve a partnership between The Speech Therapy Clinic (TSTC) and the University of Huddersfield and collaboration with Locala.
