Did you know?...
An update from CYPITIf your child is not yet in school and has speech, language and communication difficultiesWe recommend that families and early years settings start by following the advice and strategies on our advice pages or take one of our Early language development workshops. Strategies should be followed for 8-12 weeks. If after this you are still worried, and you have a Berkshire GP, starting Tuesday 9 January 2024 please call us and speak to a Speech and Language Therapist to discuss your child’s communication. Our phone lines will be open from 9am-3.30pm on a Tuesday and Thursday. Many issues can be helped by talking, so let’s talk! Call us on: 0118 9043700 As of 22 December 2023 the online referral form will no longer be needed to access Early Years Speech and Language Therapy Service. Therefore please do not complete a referral form, instead please contact our enquiries line to discuss your concerns with a Speech and Language Therapist when the lines open from the 9 January 2024. In the meantime, please feel free to take a look at our support and advice. If you require additional support to make a phone call, please email: cypittriage2@berkshire.nhs.uk. |
