- Specific Language Impairment (SLI)
- Stuttering / Stammering
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Speech sound difficulties (e.g. phonological disorder or apraxia)
- Language delays or disorders
Speech and language therapy is given at home, school, preschool or nursery throughout the local area, including: Whitchurch, Shrewsbury, Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry, Crewe, Nantwich, Tarpoley, Market Drayton, Ellesmere and Malpas.
