Speech & Language Therapy

About This Service

What is Speech & Language Therapy?

Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) is a specialist service that helps children develop, improve, and maintain their communication skills. It covers everything from first words and sentence building to social communication, fluency, and voice.

"Communication is a basic human right. Our goal is to ensure every child has the tools to express themselves, connect with others, and participate fully in life."

At Little Wings, our speech therapy sessions are child-led, family-supported, and grounded in the latest clinical research. We work closely with parents, teachers, and caregivers to ensure progress happens not just in sessions — but in everyday life too.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I start speech therapy?+

The earlier the better. If you have any concerns about your child's speech or language at any age — from 12 months onward — it's worth getting an assessment. Early intervention produces the best outcomes.

How many sessions will my child need?+

It varies based on the child's needs and goals. Some children see significant progress in 10–15 sessions; others with more complex needs may benefit from longer programmes. We'll guide you after the initial assessment.

Will my child need therapy forever?+

Most children finish speech therapy once they reach their goals. Our aim is always to make ourselves unnecessary — by building skills that last a lifetime.

What happens in a typical session?+

Sessions last 45–60 minutes and are play-based and interactive. Your child's therapist will work on their specific goals using activities, games, books, or structured exercises.

Can speech therapy be done online?+

Yes! Our online sessions are just as effective for many conditions, especially language delay, fluency, and parent coaching. We use Zoom or WhatsApp Video.
