The Children’s Integrated Speech and Language Therapy Service for Hackney and The City provides support for children and young people who live in Hackney and attend Hackney Schools.
If your child is under 5 years old and is not yet in full-time school, you can come to one of our Communication Assessment Together with Carers in Hackney (CATCH) sessions. A therapist will hear your concerns and provide you with advice on how to help your child. To attend one of the sessions, please complete our referral form or contact our admin team on 0207 683 4262, or email [email protected] so that we can give you a time slot.
Read our leaflet to find out more about CATCH sessions. There is a CATCH session happening every week across the borough and there will be one in your local area every month.
