Why choose The Little Yorkshire Speech Co?

We truly believe we offer something different within the speech and language therapy space. Our approach is grounded in child-led, neuro-affirming and regulation-based therapy, with a strong focus on seeing and understanding the whole child. Families consistently tell us that we take the time to really get to know their child, understand what makes them unique and build therapy around their individual needs. We also place huge value on working closely with parents, providing clear, practical communication and strategies that can be easily incorporated into everyday life. As a small, friendly team, we pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with the families we work with - you will never feel like just another client.

What ages do you provide speech therapy for?

We strongly believe in early intervention, so do not have a lower age limit for starting therapy. Mostly, we see children age 2 up to young people age 18.

Where do you offer speech therapy services?

Initial assessments must take place at our Sheffield clinic, based on Clarkehouse Road in S10. Your therapist will then discuss whether clinic, home or school sessions will work best for your child. This will depend on therapist availability. We can often accommodate clients in surrounding areas such as Chesterfield, Rotherham and Barnsley depending on exact location. Mileage will apply and possible travel time, depending on distance. Please call us to discuss therapy services outside of Sheffield.

What if my child already sees an NHS speech therapist?

We are very happy to work alongside and collaboratively with NHS professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.

Why private speech therapy?

The benefits of private speech and language therapy include shorter or no waitlists for support and the ability for the therapist to provide more regular sessions. A private speech therapist can work around your availability and provide highly individualised care.

How many sessions will my child need?

This will vary depending on your child’s needs. We like to review therapy goals every 6-8 weeks. Some families do well with a shorter block and then continued work to do at home, with a review shortly after. Other families require more consistent, longer term support. We can discuss this after initial assessment and an open narrative about progress will always be kept.

How long will I have to wait for assessment and therapy?

We can usually accommodate an initial assessment within a week or two. If regular therapy is indicated, then this can usually begin right away. This will depend on when and where the appointments are required but waiting times are generally low as we have three therapists with differing availability.
