About speech & language therapists

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.

SEND services in Nottingham

Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council both serve the wider Nottingham area, each with their own SEND teams and Local Offers. The city has a range of maintained special schools and specialist academies. Families should check which council covers their area, as the processes and available services differ.

Typical costs

Private SLT sessions typically cost between £60 and £120 per hour. Initial assessments may be slightly more. NHS speech therapy is free but waiting times vary enormously — some areas have waits of 6 months or more. Many parents start privately while waiting for NHS provision.
