"Speech & Language Therapy"

About: Lanarkshire Community Services / Adult Speech and Language Therapy

(as a service user),

I referred my son for S&L therapy during the pandemic.  Understandably it took a while for him to be seen given that the waiting list was so lengthy.  We met virtually in the first instance with the s&l therapist Leigh  from Condorrat Health Centre, Cumbernauld at the end of last year.  She really was so patient with my son and tried to help him as much as she could virtually, however our internet connection was never great and Leigh made the decision to see my son in person to ensure he really got the support he required.  I must say, I'm over the moon with the progress my boy has made and I need to point out that it actually didn't take very long to see the progress either.  He really enjoyed going to see Leigh, she made it really fun and interactive for him and so he was kept engaged through-out the process.  Leigh really helped me to stop worrying so much about his speech too!  

His case is now closed as he has made massive improvement in such a short space of time.  

I would highly recommend Leigh and am so thankful to her for helping us!

Dear Shelmu

Many thanks for sharing your sons journey through Speech and Language via Care Opinion.

I am delighted Leigh was able to put you and your son at ease and provide care and encouragement.

Our Speech and Language Therapists work extremely hard to provide their first class service to all patients.

It will be my pleasure to share your feedback with Leigh who I now will be delighted to see.

Again, many thanks for your kind words.

Kind regards

Jean

Dear Shelmu

Thank you for sharing your experience of the support you and your son have received from the Speech and Language Therapy Department and in particular from Leigh. I am delighted to hear that it has been such a positive experience for you, both in the development of your son's speech and the relationship and way support was provided by Leigh.

Your kind words and thanks have been shared with Leigh.

Thank you again
