Therapy is provided by the NHS ‘CYPIT’ service – the Children’s Integrated Therapy Service, part of BHFT (Berkshire HealthCare Foundation Trust)
The Therapy Team consists of Speech and Language Therapists (SALT), Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists and Integrated Assistants. They are based on site and are available on a variety of days throughout the week. They work both in and out of the classroom and work in partnership with children and young people, school staff, families and key carers to meet pupil’s needs. They work together to provide integrated assessments and programmes to ensure therapy is integrated into students' education. This may be to support their communication, or to ensure that their maximum level of movement and functional independence is achieved.

If your child is not yet in school and has speech, language and communication difficulties
We recommend that families and early years settings start by following the advice and strategies on our advice pages or take one of our Early language development workshops. Strategies should be followed for 8-12 weeks. If after this you are still worried, and you have a Berkshire GP, please call us and speak to a Speech and Language Therapist to discuss your child’s communication.
Our phone lines will be open from 9am-3.30pm on a Tuesday and Thursday. Many issues can be helped by talking, so let’s talk! Call us on: 0118 9043700
The online referral form is no longer needed to access Early Years Speech and Language Therapy Service. Therefore please do not complete a referral form, instead please contact our enquiries line to discuss your concerns with a Speech and Language Therapist. Please also feel free to take a look at our support and advice.
If you require additional support to make a phone call, please email: cypittriage2@berkshire.nhs.uk.
