Advice on speech therapy sessions

[blacklashez]

Hi! My son is in need of speech therapy . He's 2 years old. The health visitor has refereed him however they said it can take upto 18 weeks to get an appointment. Does anyone know of a playgroup or private sessions that I can take son to? I really can't wait 18 weeks and want to help him asap! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

There are Chatter Time sessions at children's centres. They are run by speech and language therapists, who can usually provide one on one guidance and weekly tips. They helped my son and were able to refer him for speech therapy. He then had the same therapist that ran the sessions we attended at Bessemer Grange.

Thank you I will take him to that. I'm trying to do as much as I can to get him on the right track ..

Chattertime is lovely, I would really recommend them. I took my son when he was 3 as he still has some pronounication issues and they are really lovely.
