Who can attend the speech and language drop-in?

The drop-in is for PRE-SCHOOL children.  Children MUST be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

Children MUST be registered with a GP in Thurrock, Basildon or Brentwood (including Billericay and Wickford).

What happens at the drop-in?

When you arrive you will be asked to register.  You may have to wait whilst people who arrived before you are seen.  You and your child will be seen by a speech and language therapist in a room set up for children to play.  You will be asked about your child's communication skills and development.  The therapist will then observe your child playing and discuss these observations with you.  Advice will be given and where appropriate further support will be offered.
