"I honestly cannot express how grateful we are"

About: Children & Young People’s Speech & Language Therapy / Dundee - Children & Young People’s Speech & Language Therapy

(as a parent/guardian),

My then 3-year-old son was struggling massively with speech and understanding so I was referred to Speech Therapy. He was assessed and found to be 2 years behind with his language and understanding and possibly has DLD.

The care, understanding and help given to us by Rebecca, his speech therapist, has been phenomenal. In a short 6 months of work, his language and understanding have improved by 1 year! He is now able to communicate his needs and feelings and has a new sense of confidence.

Without the help and support we have received I hate to think where he would be. My son will always need support and help due to the DLD and I have nothing but confidence that he will always get this from the speech therapy team. I honestly cannot express how grateful we are for everything done for my son. To see his progress is nothing short of amazing.

Dear Diane 374,

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about your experience of Speech and Language Therapy. I am so pleased to hear how helpful you found Rebecca to be and how the support you have had has helped your son to communicate his needs with confidence. I am delighted he has made so much progress and that you have confidence that you will both continue to have access to the support you need.

I have shared your experience with Rebecca and the rest of the team. Thank you.
