Delighted to lend my support to the @RCSLTNI event today in Stormont. Developmental Language Disorder is another area where the earlier the intervention the better the clinical outcomes👍👍 I will continue to support SLT in NI.

Thank you for listening and following along today! Speech and language therapy assistants play such a valuable role in supporting and sharing key speech, language and communication messages in a child’s early years.
