NHS therapy routes depend on GP area, age and the difficulty involved; a provider’s town does not determine NHS eligibility. For school-age speech and language concerns, speak to the SENCo about the NHS link therapist. For preschool children, check Talking Walk-ins and the current criteria. Read the NHS therapy referral guidance.

Before paying, confirm the named professional’s registration and scope, child age criteria, travel or online arrangements, total costs and availability. Ask your school or healthcare team what evidence is needed before buying a report. The directory does not guarantee a diagnosis, school place, benefit award or faster appointment.
