Speech and Language Therapy: Furness (including Millom, Barrow and Ulverston)

Who we are and what we do 

Your child or young person may be having difficulties with their speech, language, communication or eating and drinking. We will work with you and other people already helping your child or young person. We will agree together what support your child needs to help reduce the impact of their difficulties.  

We will also work with colleagues in other health and education teams to help your child reach their desired outcomes. 

We work with children and young people aged 0-19 who may be having difficulties with: 

• early communication skills including making eye contact, pointing, babbling, responding to you
• learning and remembering new words
• learning new sounds
• joining words together to form sentences
• understanding what people say to them
• interacting with others
• stammering
• voice quality
• using alternative and augmentative communication (hi and low tech AAC) eating and drinking
