Speech & Language Therapy
Drop-in Advice Clinics
For Children & Families living in Renfrewshire

The Drop-in Clinic is a session for parents/carers who want advice about their child’s speech and/or language development. You will have the opportunity to discuss your child’s development with a Speech and Language Therapist. We can give you advice and ideas on how to help your child’s speech and language development.
Your health visitor, GP or your child’s nursery/school may recommend that you visit a drop in clinic. They are open to families who live in Renfrewshire.
You need to book an appointment to access the Drop- In Clinics.
To book an appointment, please call the Speech and Language Therapy Drop-in booking line on a Wednesday morning between 10-12 am on 0141 314 4604.
There are both Digital and Face to Face appointments available at a range of times.
The Face to Face appointments are offered in Aranthrue Clinic, Renfrew Health & Social Work Centre, Johnstone Health Centre and Erskine Health Centre.
You can attend any session with your child, no matter where you live in Renfrewshire.

Day 2 of our sibling day. Another successful visit to our nursery from our family members at Williamsburgh Primary. 

 

Today we had a visit from some of our Brothers and Sisters from Williamsburgh Primary School to our ELCC. We had an opportunity to show them our favourite things to do, work together  and share our ideas and create new experiences. A great time was had by  all and we look forward to doing it again.
