Welcome to the Speech and Language Class in St Anne’s, where children with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) and Speech Sound Disorder from all over Meath come for additional support. We are one of 3 Speech and Language classes serving the whole county of Meath.
There are seven children in our class, a mixture of Junior Infants to Third Class.
Our teacher this year is Mrs Fitzgerald. Our Speech and Language Therapist is Cáit Stack, who works in the class two days a week. We are also very lucky to have the support of our SNAs, Collette and Tracy.
As you can see we love celebrating birthdays in our class.
Admission to our Speech and Language class is through the Meath DLD/Speech Sound Disorder Class Admissions Committee. Referrals are made by Speech and Language Therapists. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, contact your local Speech and Language therapist or Public Health Nurse. Further information about DLD can be found here.
General information for parents, guardians and educators is available below. Every child is different and has a unique profile of strengths and areas in need of support.
DLD resources for schools and families
NCSE have developed an excellent range of resources with Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists for parents to complete at home. They can be accessed here.
