About Speech and Language UK
We are Speech and Language UK – we want every child to face the future with confidence. For 1.9 million children in the UK, learning to talk and understand words feel like an impossible hurdle. Without the right help, this can destroy their world. They feel disconnected from their family. Unable to make friends. Unfairly punished for not following instructions they don’t understand. What does the future hold for them?
