Pamela works with children who need support with their speech and language and is always happy to discuss your concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Speech and Language Therapy in East Ayrshire also have some wonderful opportunities for you to access advice and support. You can call the <strong>helpline<\/strong> and speak to a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) on a Monday 09:30-11:30am or a Thursday 2-4pm on 07980919654. Alternatively, if you would like to attend a virtual <strong>drop-in session<\/strong> (video call) during which you can speak to a therapist or even let them hear your child talking, you can text 07812519298 to book an appointment. These appointments take place on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1686\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/dronganecc\/speech-and-language\/top-tips-and-videos\/asd-slt-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"528,743\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"asd slt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt-213x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1686\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"339\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/dronganecc\/uploads\/sites\/18161\/2023\/01\/12104010\/asd-slt.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about the importance of communication in the early years, we recommend the video below:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVQavXnuzP0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using a <strong>dummy<\/strong> can potentially hinder your child&#8217;s ability to communicate.
