The Speech, Language and Hearing Centre is an Assessment and Therapeutic Centre for babies and children under 5 who have a hearing impairment or a delay in their speech, language or communication or who have more complex needs. The Centre offers the following services.

• An interdisciplinary assessment.
• A specialist nursery school.
• A parent and toddler group.
• An afternoon nursery.
• A complex needs group.
• The 'Far Reach Programme' which is offered in response to a need expressed by parents and professionals throughout the UK and abroad for an Interdisciplinary Professional Team Assessment.

The award-winning, purpose-built Centre provides an acoustically treated environment where a structured language enriched programme is offered to each child in small groups and as one-to-one therapy. The Centre welcomes full parental involvement and close liaison with other professionals involved in the child's development.

Referrals can be made directly to the Centre by parents or interested professionals. Funding is in a variety of ways: local authority funding, Christopher Place sponsorship funding, payment directly by parents, or private health insurance.
