Communication in children
Speech, language and communication are core life skills. Children and young people need communication skills so they can fulfil their potential in life.
The South Tees speech and language therapy team (SALT) aims to ensure that every child and young person in the South Tees region is offered the help and support they need to achieve this.
We work closely with others to ensure that children are not left out or left behind due to difficulties in their speaking and listening.
By improving communication skills, we also see improvements in children and young people's social skills, friendships, self-confidence and literacy skills.
