We would like to gain insight into NHS speech and language therapy provision for children who have Down’s syndrome living in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
We are inviting families of children aged up to 11 years of age to tell us about their lived experiences of accessing speech and language therapy for their child.
Please tell us your story, in your own words, if you would like to do so. We may keep your story on file, and may include some stories on our website. We may also share stories with other interested organisations. The stories will be anonymised to protect privacy.
We are particularly interested to know:
- do you live in England, Northern Ireland or Wales?
- how old is your child?
- describe your child’s communication skills
- how often does your child receive speech and language therapy from the NHS?
- has speech and language therapy through your local NHS service helped your child to make progress and to achieve specified outcomes?
- has your child’s speech and language therapy had an impact on your family?
- describe your relationship with your child’s speech and language therapist
There is no pressure at all to take part.
If you would like to send us your story, please email info@downs-syndrome.org.uk.
