"A fantastic speech therapist"

About: Children and Young People Services / Sure Start

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter first attended a chatter matters clinic in 2022 and was referred to the community Paeds by speech and language therapist Ruth. She immediately recognised my child was a gestalt language processor and she helped me understand what this was and helped with strategies which I could use to help her speech continue to develop.

The referral then came around a year later and the community paeds Dr has referred my daughter on to the Autism team for an assessment, this was all down to the hard work of Ruth and how attentive she was.

My daughter also attends community speech and language therapy after a referral from and Ruth. She has continued to link in with my daughter in the 2 year programme and goes above and beyond to help where she can. She is fantastic at her job and deserves recognition. Thank you Ruth :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story with us on Care Opinion.

I totally agree with everything that you said - Ruth absolutely is a fantastic SLT. She gives 100%, and often more in her work. She is such an asset within SureStart and also the whole Speech and Language Therapy team. Her attention to detail is amazing along with her caring and compassionate attitude.

It's lovely to see the different parts of the whole service working together for children and parents.

It's just great to hear that the advice and strategies that she has given you have been useful for you and your daughter and I'll be delighted to pass your kind words on to her and the rest of the team.

Wishing you and you family all the best for the future.
