WellComm early language screening session


If you are worried about your child's speech and language development, or you think they aren't talking as much as other children their age, these sessions can help.

We use a tool called WellComm. This helps us to see if there is any delay with you child's speech and language development and provides you with activities and advice that you can use at home to help your child develop their skills.

You can book an appointment if your child is aged between 3 and 4 years.

The appointment will last between 30 and 40 minutes, and your child will need to attend with you. If required, you will be offered a follow-up appointment.

Sessions are available at the following Family Hubs. Contact us for more information or to book a place.
