For Parents
Evidence shows that early intervention with Speech and Language Therapy is key in helping children reach their full potential. Here at Valley Speech Therapy we are passionate about offering timely intervention that is tailored around your child's needs. At Valley Speech Therapy we believe that children learn best in a familiar environment, we therefore offer appointments in your own home at a time that suits you.

If your child requires input we will provide individualised therapy. We believe that the best place to see your child is in a familiar environment. All appointments are therefore offered in your own home.
For the best results we recommend that parents / carers are present throughout to enable continued practice of the therapy throughout the week.
