Information for Parents: How to support your child’s Speech, Language and Communication Needs
Due to the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic we have made some temporary changes to the way that we deliver therapy services to children, young people (CYP)and families, for example in minimising face-to-face contact. We continue to provide support but in a different way through telephone advice, videoconference and written advice where needed.
We do not know yet when normal services will resume. These changes have been made in order to keep you and our staff safe and follow the nationally published guidance for community services.
If you would like more information about services and support available for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in Harrow, please visit www.harrow.gov.uk/localoffer
