Speech and Language Therapy services in schools
Better Days provides school-based Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) services to support students with speech, language and communication needs. We work in partnership with schools, SENCOs and teachers to help children and young people access learning and participate fully in school life.
How our service supports students
We support children to understand, express themselves, and participate fully in learning and social interactions at school.
Our Speech and Language Therapists deliver practical, evidence-informed support within educational settings, ensuring strategies are relevant, achievable and embedded into everyday classroom practice.
Your school’s goals are our goals
We understand the central role communication plays in learning, wellbeing and inclusion. Our speech and language therapy services are designed to align with EHCP outcomes and whole-school priorities, helping schools support students effectively and meet statutory responsibilities.
We focus on removing communication barriers so students can engage confidently across the school day.
