-
Children who have hearing impairment, speech delay, language or communication difficulties, or who have complex needs.
-
Medical innovation and new developments relating to these children.

Research in all topics relating to these children.
Projects funded by the SLHF include:
-
Part time speech and language therapists for schools with high levels of deprivation and children who do not meet the criteria for EHCP’s.
-
Post graduate training in Educational Audiology at Mary Hare School.
