Talking Walk-in - Speech and Language Therapy - drop in assessments sessions 2020

Description

Due to the Corona Virus and the need to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, Homerton NHS teams, including the Speech and Language Therapy team will not be working with children/young people face to face unless the need is clinically urgent. 

For this reason we have taken the decision to cancel all upcoming Talking Walk-ins. 

The Speech and Language Therapists will continue to work off-site. If you have concerns about a child’s speech and language development then you can still currently refer by completing our referral form and a therapist can make contact with the family over the telephone. 

All nurseries and playgroups will still be able to access their link therapist by telephone or email if they would like to discuss specific children.

Who we are...

Talking Walk-in are Speech and Language Therapy assessment sessions for children under 5 who have difficulties talking, communicating, drinking or swallowing. Therapists can refer on or advise about next steps.

What we do...

If your child is under 5, and having difficulties talking, communicating, drinking or swallowing, the Speech and Language Therapy service may be able to help.

The Speech and Language Therapy service run drop–in assessment sessions called Talking Walk-ins which are run from Children's Centres all over the borough.

If you have concerns about your child’s speech or language development you can just turn up at one of the sessions.

A speech and language therapist will see you and your child play in a group setting, assess their communication skills and will advise you on what any next steps should be regarding additional support.  

If you want to attend a group you can just turn up at one of the sessions.
