A Carlow GP has hit out at inconsistencies in public speech & language services.
Sandra Kehoe is mother to 5 year old Louie who has Down Syndrome – she has spent thousands of euro on speech & language therapy for him even though he is entitled to the service publicly.
Speaking to Sue Nunn this morning she said when it comes to speech & language issues early intervention is so important.
Dr Kehoe says local therapists are brilliant but they are overworked and under-staffed.
