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 Talking Walk-in sessions. A therapist will hear your concerns and provide you with advice on how to help your child. There is a Talking Walk-in session happening every week across the borough and there will be one in your local area every month. To attend one of the sessions, please complete our SLT Referral Form or contact our admin team on 0207 683 4262, or email hello@gethackneytalking.co.uk so that we can give you a time slot. Click here to see a list of the dates and locations of our Talking Walk-ins. Watch the video to see what happens in a Talking Walk-in or you can read our leaflet to find out more.
If you need an interpreter please call our administrators on 020 7683 4262 and this can be arranged for you.
If your child attends full-time school, please contact the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) in the school who can help you access support from the speech and language therapist in school.
More information about Hackney’s Local Offer for children and young people with Special Educational Needs is available here.
Also, take a look at our leaflets with ideas of how help your child’s speech, language and communication skills.
