Cambridgeshire Community Services (CCS) Speech and Language Therapy Service
CCS Speech and Language Therapists support children with speech, language and communication needs, to help them to communicate better. They also work with children who have eating and swallowing problems.
Visual Supports
Cambridgeshire Community Services offers advice on using visual aids. Visual aids can be used to help children understand spoken language as they provide extra visual clues. Many children will find that having visual supports available makes it easier for them to process what is happening or what is being said.
