About our early years speech and language therapy service

The early years speech and language therapy team support the development of preschool children’s speech, language and communication skills through partnership working with parents, families and other professionals.

We provide help, support and care for children who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing. We work in a variety of settings across Enfield.

We offer a range of services including:

  • Triage assessment appointment clinics at Children’s Centres in Enfield

  • TalkACTivity - a course for parents of children with identified minor communication needs
  • Support for children with Down’s Syndrome
  • Support for children with eating and drinking disorders
  • Support for children with autism

Who is the service for?

The service is for preschool aged children who find it hard to:

  • Understand what is said to them;
  • Use signs, words and construct sentences;
  • Say words clearly;
  • Find the right words to express thoughts and feelings;
  • Understand rules for social interaction and conversation;
  • Speak fluently.
