Parent workshops & coffee mornings
Friendly, informative sessions that help parents support communication skills at home using easy-to-apply techniques.

"Liverpool Speech Therapy staff working with our school are excellent. Their collaboration with school leaders, their communications with staff, their empathy with families and above all, their professionalism and support for children are of the highest possible calibre. I cannot speak highly enough of quality of their input, their diligence, and the impact for good that they are making in our school."

"We had a staff training from Louise and Georgie on blank levels. It was fantastic! They were so professional, so well organised and staff from across the school came away with greater knowledge and ideas that could be used in the classroom the next day. Our school has worked with Liverpool Speech Therapy for over 3 years and I couldn't recommend them more."

Our weekly visits comprise of direct 1:1, small group and class-based activities, therapy and carry-over work. In addition, LST assess, plan and deliver bespoke programmes based on individual needs. Their expertise span all needs and they provide valuable and appropriate CPD for staff in addition to parental support. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!"
