Speech and Language Therapy- Children
The Primary Care Speech and Language Therapy service in Wicklow works with children aged 0-18 with speech, language, voice and fluency difficulties as their primary difficulty. We work closely with children’s families and preschools/schools. Children who may benefit from speech & language therapy may have some of the following needs: speech: difficulty making speech sounds or unclear speech; language: difficulty understanding and/or using words and sentences; fluency (stammering or stuttering): difficulty with fluent speech (getting stuck on words); voice: hoarseness or loss of voice (talk to your GP about a referral to ENT also). The Children’s Disability Network Team or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) may be more suitable for children with communication difficulties which are part of a more significant difficulty (e.g. Intellectual Disability, Autism, ADHD). This is because their needs may be better met by a team of health professionals working together. You can talk to your GP or Public Health Nurse about these services. An Assessment of Need, as outlined in the Disability Act 2005, will identify your child's health needs and what services are required to meet your child’s needs.
