The Child Development Drop-In service has been established to improve access to professional advice and support, and to promote early intervention.

During the sessions a Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist, and Physiotherapist will be available to parents and carers who wish to seek advice regarding their child’s development.

And parents and carers are welcome to come along even if they don’t have any specific questions as, through discussion about their child, the professionals can provide helpful advice and tips.
