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.
