Specialist communication support delivered in schools and at home - helping children aged 0–25 to communicate, connect and thrive.
A speech and language therapist (SLT) supports children and young people who have difficulties with communication — whether that's understanding language, expressing themselves, using social communication skills, or producing clear speech sounds.
Communication underpins everything a child does — learning, friendships, expressing emotions, and navigating the world. When communication is difficult, children can become frustrated, isolated or disengaged. SLT provides the tools and strategies to help them connect and participate fully.
KidsKinetic speech and language therapists work in schools, homes and community settings — delivering sessions that are play-based, child-friendly and focused on real-world communication.
SLT supports children with:
We support children and young people aged 0–25 across a wide range of communication needs - in school, at home and beyond.
Children who are difficult to understand due to unclear speech sounds, articulation difficulties or phonological delay - affecting confidence and classroom participation.
Children on the autism spectrum who find social communication, understanding social rules, or interpreting language in context particularly challenging.
Children whose language skills are behind their peers - affecting their ability to follow instructions, express themselves or access the curriculum.
Children who stammer or have fluency difficulties - supporting confident communication and reducing the anxiety that often accompanies dysfluency.
Children who are non-verbal or minimally verbal, requiring Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) assessment, device support and training for families and staff.
Children with an EHCP who require SLT assessment, statutory reporting, or ongoing speech and language input as part of their plan.

Regular updatesThe therapists built excellent rapport with our pupils very quickly. There has been significant progression in many key areas - particularly attitude to learning. The children are enjoying learning more because they've developed skills they previously struggled with.
We have seen a great improvement in our child's ability to communicate and express themselves. Sessions were always fun and engaging - she genuinely looked forward to them. The strategies for home have made a real difference too.
The advice and guidance provided to myself and my teaching assistant has had a lasting impact. We now feel confident to support children's communication needs within the classroom - the training was clear, practical and immediately useful.
