Assessment & therapy for children & young people.

Welcome to Away With Words

We provide specialist speech and language therapy services to schools, supporting children and young people with speech, language and communication needs to thrive in their learning environments.

Supporting children to communicate with confidence

We recognise and value the unique strengths, perspectives and ways of communicating that every child brings, supporting them to communicate confidently, participate meaningfully and access learning in ways that work for them.

We deliver high-quality, evidence-informed interventions that are tailored to each child’s individual profile and linked to their educational goals. Working in partnership with schools and families, we help create inclusive environments where communication differences are understood, respected and supported.

Our Approach

At Away With Words, we pride ourselves on providing a responsive, compassionate and high-quality service that meets the diverse needs of children while remaining flexible and practical for schools.

We believe that the most effective support happens when everyone around a child works together. That is why we work closely with teachers, support staff, families and other professionals to ensure a shared understanding of a child’s communication profile and the strategies that best support them.

Our goal is to help create environments where every child feels understood, included and able to participate fully, enabling them to flourish both academically and socially, while delivering measurable value and positive outcomes for schools.
