Speech and Language therapy is commissioned through Provide and formal BSL tuition is provided by Essex’s Physical and Sensory Impairment Teacher Service.  We consider both speech and language therapists (SaLT) and our BSL tutor part of our extended team.

Specialist Speech and Language Therapists

Therapists work with children either one to one or as part of a group; liaise with QToDs and meet with parents as needed.
