According to the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), “speech and language therapy provides treatment, support and care for children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing.

Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are allied health professionals. They work with parents, carers and other professionals, such as teachers, nurses, occupational therapists and doctors.”

Here in Manchester, Manchester Local Care Organisation‘s (MLCO) Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) team provides a citywide service offering assessment, diagnosis and appropriate management of children aged 0-16 years (or up to 19 years if a young person attends a Manchester-based Specialist Support School) who have speech, language and communication needs. This includes support for those with difficulties with social communication, feeding and swallowing, and voice.

You can find out more about the SALT service on MLCO’s website.

Below are some articles and events on our website that relate to speech and language therapy:
