Noticed a few changes? Speech For Schools has recently had a name change! Over the years our business has evolved from a 100% schools-based therapy service to a primarily clinic-based service.

All your favourite therapists are still here, we will just be transitioning across to working under our colourful new name, The Speech & Therapy Clinic!
