Stacey Zimmels
Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
Speech and Language Therapists provide assessment and treatment for individuals who have difficulties with communication, eating, drinking and swallowing. If your child is below 2 years old and struggling with early feeding and weaning, we may recommend that you consider the services that Stacey provides via her website www.feedeatspeak.co.uk as a starting point.
​
Additionally, during our assessment and treatment, if we have concerns that an individual may have difficulties with their swallow safety, or with physically eating and/or chewing we may recommend further assessment from a feeding and swallowing specialist speech and language therapist.
