Jean was on Daybreak www.itv.com/daybreak at 06.20 this morning talking about assessing children at 2 for speech and language difficulties. Approx. an hour later a mother, daughter and speech and language therapist followed up. The SLT said children should have a minimum of 50 by the age of 2. If they don't self refer to local speech and language therapy services. Contact details can be obtained from PCTs or GP surgeries. Unfortunately, the reality is many parents get fobbed off at this stage. A lot of retraining of HVs and an improvement in the SALT service.
