Therapy Service Website

Salford Speech and Language Therapy Services for children are provided by Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust

Learning to talk is one of the most important skills in a child’s development. Children with good communication skills find it easier to make friends, learn in school and achieve as adults.

Speech and Language Therapists have expert knowledge in speech, language and communication development, the difficulties some children may experience, and how to help children achieve their communication potential. We also work with children who have eating and swallowing difficulties.
