Speech and Language Therapy Barnsley

Please Note:

Barnsley children’s speech and language therapy service are working differently at the moment due to the Covid-19 crisis. We are still working to help children and families who are referred to us. We are still accepting referrals but most of our appointments are now by telephone or video.  From the end of September 2020 we will be offering a limited number of face to face appointments either in health centres or your child’s setting.  These will be where we need to do some essential work or activities that cannot be done by telehealth.  As a result, these appointments are likely to be “one-offs” with further appointment being offered by telehealth.
