Your child may struggle with daily activities including:

learning to explore the world;
participating in nursery or school;
feeding themselves independently;
dressing independently;
accessing suitable toileting/bathing facilities;
playing with toys and games.

Work with you, health, education and social care colleagues, to help your child get the most from their lives and achieve their potential.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service CAMHs

CAMHS help children and young people up to 18 who are finding it hard to cope with everyday life because of difficult feelings, behaviour or relationships.

Most of the time when we are sad, angry, stressed or worried these feelings pass within a few days, but if they go on for a while and stop us from enjoying and coping with life, then CAMHS can help.

Just as we go to the doctors when we are physically ill, sometimes we need extra help with our mental health.

You can self-refer.

Children's Speech and Language Therapy in Buckinghamshire

The service supports children and young people to develop effective speech, language and social communication skills. Where appropriate we help children and families to learn to use alternative means of communication such as signing. We also work with children and young people who have problems eating or drinking.

The Speech and Language Therapist will develop a programme of work together with the child or young person, family, Early Years/School teaching staff and Specialist Teaching Service. Working in partnership with parents and staff is crucial for effective working at home and within the child/young person’s daily communication environment.

Will offer training and advice for some children and individual or group therapy to others. This relates directly to the nature of the communication difficulty and the outcome of assessment for the child/young person.
