Building Confidence Through Communication
Find support
SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY SURREY and surrounding areas
Whilst many children are able to learn language, communicate easily, access education and socialise freely, for some, this doesn’t happen naturally.
This is where professional support can help. We work with you and your child to assess what they need, whether that’s through direct therapy, training for the people who support them, activities that you can do at home – or a combination of all three.
The Expressive Child is a therapy practice for children and young people, based in Walton-on-Thames providing professional support across Surrey, South London and the South East. We work from our therapy centre, as well as at homes and in schools.
Our practice aims to offer families a hub to access professionals across multiple disciplines.
Our roots as a speech and language therapy practice mean that our focus has always been on helping children and young people build confidence in their communication and find pleasure in interactions, and removing barriers that get in the way of this.
Now, we are expanding our practice to offer acess to a wide range of complementary professionals, such as psychologists, SEN advocates, paediatricians and occupational therapists. Our vision is to provide one place for families to access all of the support and advice they need, reduce the demands of co-ordinating multiple services and professionals and create a supportive community for any family where a child needs a bit extra to thrive.
