"The therapist is so knowledgeable and supportive"

About: Children and Young People Services / Speech and Language Services Specialist Child Health & Disability / Speech and Language Therapy Services

(as a parent/guardian),

My son, aged 3, was referred to speech therapy and has been receiving treatment in Banbridge Health and Care Centre for around 4 months. His therapist is so knowledgeable and supportive and my son engages with her in ways I didn’t expect. She makes speech therapy fun for him so he looks forward to going.

The materials sent home are very helpful and I have seen great progress since he began therapy. His therapist is also very supportive and understanding of my feelings as a parent of a child with delayed speech and on numerous occasions has gone out of her way to put me at ease and provide reassurance.

I am delighted at the level of services afforded to my son and at the progress he is making on a weekly basis. I have nothing negative to say, whatsoever, and look forward to continuing to work with this fabulous team.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story. It is truly heart warming to hear about how successful Speech and Language Therapy has been for you and your child. I am delighted that you have felt understood and reassured and that your son has enjoyed developing his communication skills; when it is fun the magic happens!

I will be sharing your story at our team meeting next week and I know it will really boost staff morale.

Wishing you and your son every continued success as you journey with our team.
