Speech and Language Therapy in the heart of Clapham

Finding the right support for your child can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re concerned about their speech, language or communication development. So local parents will be pleased to hear that a new Speech and Language Therapy clinic has opened in Clapham.

Located at the Light Centre on Clapham High Street, the team at London Speech Therapy provides expert, child-centred support for families in the local area and surrounding boroughs.

As demand for speech and language services continues to grow nationwide, London Speech Therapy offers quick and easy access to specialist assessment services and therapy sessions in the heart of Clapham – reducing the time families need to spend on lengthy NHS waiting lists.

The opening comes as increasing numbers of children are experiencing speech and language difficulties, a trend many experts say was accelerated by the pandemic. Nationwide, more children are starting school who are struggling to understand and use language. The Government is now funding its Early Language Support for Every Child (ELSEC) programme, deploying specialist teams across nurseries and early years settings. This will help identify and respond to the speech and language needs of around 20,000 children. But there’s still a significant backlog, which is frustrating for parents whose children are struggling to communicate.

London Speech Therapy’s Clapham clinic provides a safe, welcoming and playful space where families can access a range of services including:

Assessment and therapy for children from 18 months to25 years
Parent coaching sessions to help families support speech and language at home
Bilingual and multicultural support where possible
Detailed written reports to share with schools,nurseries and other professionals.

In addition, London Speech Therapy can work with SENCOs and managers in local schools and nurseries. Services include joint planning, in house observations, staff training on early language development, and tailored programmes for children with speech sound difficulties, language delay, or social communication differences.

If you’re worried about any aspect of your child’s speech development, there is no harm in asking for advice. Early support can transform a child’s ability to learn, make friends and be understood. Parents can self-refer, or be signposted to London Speech Therapy by GPs, health visitors, school staff or nursery managers.
