West Midlands Speech & Language Therapy are a well-established team of qualified and highly experienced therapists providing a quality, bespoke service to our clients. We work with children and young people from 0-25 years across numerous settings including nursery schools, mainstream primary and secondary schools as well as in resource bases and specialist provision for young children and adults.

The company was founded in 2005 and a small number of staff worked across a handful of schools in the West Midlands.

As awareness of speech and language difficulties grew, and schools became more autonomous in their commissioning powers, the company grew and became incorporated in 2014. It is led by Helen Langbourne and Michelle Turner, both Speech and Language Therapists, with a wealth of experience in both the public and private sectors. They both qualified in the Mid 90’s from Birmingham City University and have been working within the local area since then.

The company has grown rapidly since its modest beginnings into a well-respected and well-established provider of quality SLT and OT services across the West Midlands.
