Reach4Speech

Reach4Speech Independent Speech & Language Therapy for children offering detailed speech and language assessment, advice and individualised therapy packages.

Hi, I am Claire Lingard. I have worked as a Speech and Language Therapist for 25 years and I now combine my part time NHS role with my independent practice Reach4Speech. As a mum to 4 young children I am passionate about working alongside families to help them understand and support their children's communication difficulties. I use the most up-to-date, evidence based interventions to help a child to reach their potential. My aim is to provide a friendly, personal, high-quality service.
