Speech and Language Therapy

What is speech and language therapy?

CITYMED involves assessing and treating children with specific speech, language, and communication problems; to enable them to communicate to the best of their ability. In order to do this one must understand the clear definition of these 3 terms which are most often interchangeably used.

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. We work with parents, carers and other professionals, such as teachers, nurses, occupational therapists and doctors.
