Express Speech & Language Therapy

01/10/2026

Curious about your child's speech? Can you hear that some sounds or words are more difficult than others? Have school or nursery raised a concern? Maybe you just want to know your child is hitting their developmental milestones?

Speech and language appointments take time and while you wait, you are often left wondering what to do and how to help.

Our speech screener solves exactly this problem. No wait time, no appointment, no jargon, no need for a speech therapist.

An easy picture game you can do at home with your child and, when you are done, you'll get a full report of their speech sounds, an clear picture of what their needs are and where to focus as well as strategies to get you started should they need it.

Think of us as your helpful first step. The stop-gap in-between noticing a problem and getting a block of speech therapy. We help you fill that gap while you wait, giving you the tools, resources and answers you need to best support your child's speech sounds. In some cases, by the time your appointment comes around, your child may not even need it.

Get a full picture of your child's speech in a little as 20 minutes. From home. no appointment or long wait times!

You dont have to wait months for a speech therapy appointment. If you have a concern or an issue has been raised by school or a health visitor, you want answers quickly - every day that passes is a day your child feels different.

With just a laptop and internet connection, you can check your child's speech from home, without an appointment or long wait. You play a quick picture game, mark their closest answer and a full report is written and provided for them.

You can share it with school and everyone has a clear picture on what your child needs.

Our screener also takes ZERO identifying information about you or your child. All the screener requires is thier age - no names, date of birth, gender, eye colour or where you live. You can even use a nickname for the report.

We're nearly a month into the new term — a good moment to pause and check in on how your child's speech is settling.

[ ] My child seems understood by their teacher and classmates
[ ] They're happy to talk and join in at school
[ ] Their speech is clearer than it was over the summer, not the same
[ ] No one at school has raised a concern
[ ] I've stopped needing to "translate" for other adults

Not ticking all five? That's not a reason to panic — but the autumn term really is the best window to act, long before half term and long before it drifts into next year.

When a paediatrician recommends a tool to the families in their care, that means a great deal to us.

"An excellent screening tool that I now recommend to families. It bridges the gap while waiting for NHS referrals and gives parents actionable insights immediately."

— Dr. James L., Paediatrician

Bridging the gap between a worry and a way forward — that's exactly what it's built to do.

Here's a belief that catches a lot of families out: "If my child needs speech support, the school will sort out a referral."

Sometimes they will. But schools are stretched, referral thresholds are high, and speech can quietly slip down a long list of priorities — especially if a child is otherwise coping fine.

Waiting for the system to act can cost months. Knowing your child's phonological profile yourself puts you in the driving seat — whether that leads to a home plan, a private referral, or simply reassurance that all is well.

Something a lot of parents don't realise: speech sounds don't all arrive at once. They develop in a fairly predictable order.

Roughly speaking:

By age 3: p, b, m, d, n, h, w
By age 4: k, g, t, ng, f, y
By age 5: l, sh, ch, j, s, z
By age 6–7: r, v, th

So if your five-year-old still says "wabbit" for "rabbit," that's often within normal range. But "tat" for "cat" at five usually isn't. Knowing which patterns are age-appropriate and which aren't is everything — and it's exactly what the screener is built to tell you.
