Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) in Buckinghamshire

Overview

We would like to hear about what speech, language and communication services or groups you access, signpost or refer children and young people in Buckinghamshire to.

What we mean by ‘speech, language and communication needs’ (SLCN)

The term ‘speech, language and communication needs’ (SLCN) incorporates a wide range of difficulties related to aspects of communication in children and young people.

These can include difficulties with fluency, forming sounds and words, formulating sentences, understanding what others say, or using language socially.

We are interested to hear about all levels of services and groups locally in Buckinghamshire which support children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.

This includes universal, targeted and specialist support:

We want to hear from you
