The Speech and Language Clinic, is delighted to provide professional services together with Psychological Assessments and Learning Solutions (PALS).
What does this mean for a parent?
It means you can book your child to have a cognitive assessment and a language assessment on the same day at the same convenient location. This is particularly useful if you would like your child to gain entry into a language class, or if you want a comprehensive overview of your child’s strengths and weaknesses for future intervention.

Valerie Vaughan, Tipperary
I would just like to say that I found the service to be very beneficial. Frances was more than helpful with information about the resources available to my son. My son found Frances to be a lovely person, in his words “she’s cool”.I emailed Frances on short notice to get an assessment done and she was more than willing to help me out. Frances was very kind to my son made him feel very at ease and also made me feel at ease. I would recommend her services to anyone.
