Private Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy

Our speech and language therapists are deeply invested in understanding how children and young individuals communicate in their daily lives, be it with family, friends, or within their educational environments. Our primary objective is to empower these young individuals to communicate effectively, while also ensuring that the adults surrounding them are equipped with the best strategies to support their communication journey.

At our private clinic in Birmingham, we don’t believe in waiting lists or GP referrals. If you have concerns about your child’s speech and language development, simply choose an appointment time below.

Your Child Deserves to be Seen and Heard

We believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. Our Seen and Heard service provides expert speech and language therapy tailored to children and young people from 2.5 to 18 years, supporting their communication journey with skill, sensitivity, and care.

What is Speech and Language Therapy?

If your child is just beginning to speak, experiencing difficulties with social communication, or navigating the complex changes of adolescence, our speech and language therapy (SLT) team can help. SLT can help your child build their confidence and find their voice by supporting their speech clarity, language development, and social communication skills. Whether it's improving pronunciation, expanding vocabulary, or enhancing interaction with others, our SLT team tailors each session to meet your child’s unique needs, empowering them to communicate with confidence at every stage.

Expert Support Across Ages and Needs

Our therapists are experienced in working with a wide range of communication needs, including:

• Speech Sound Delays and Disorders
• Language Development Challenges
• Social Communication and Interaction Needs
• Voice Difficulties
• Stammering
• Selective Mutism
• Communication linked to Neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD
