Speech and language therapists (SLTs) work with children who have difficulties with communication — whether that's forming sounds, building sentences, understanding what others say, or using language socially. Early intervention makes a real difference, and many parents find that regular therapy sessions lead to noticeable progress within months.
If your child isn't meeting speech milestones, is difficult to understand by age 3, struggles to follow instructions, has trouble finding the right words, or finds social communication challenging (common in autism), it's worth seeking an SLT assessment. Health visitors and nursery staff can often flag early concerns, but don't wait for a referral if you're worried.

Typical costs
