For a child with speech, language and communication difficulties, school can be a difficult place. At Meath, a Speech and Language UK School, we work with children aged 4 to 11 to recognise these needs and provide therapy and education to meet them. Our multi-disciplinary teams aim to give them the same opportunities as other children and turn their frustration to confidence.

What you’ll do:
