Building Richer Lives Through Communication

We are a dedicated team who work with children and adults with communication difficulties. NOW RECRUITING

Our speech and language therapy team members assess, diagnose and provide therapy for individuals with speech, language and communication and/or swallowing problems to help the individuals to communicate to the best of their ability. Our team of therapists are all highly experienced and are all members of the Health Professional Council (HPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) who define the professional standards we follow. We are based in Manchester and work across the North West of England. We offer highly specialist services within the area of assistive technology (AT) and Alternative & Augmentative Communication (AAC). We are dedicated training partners of Smartbox who are specialists in computer-based communication aids and access to computer systems. Our team members are experienced within a wide range of speech and language difficulties and we are able to offer free initial telephone consultations to best identify the needs of your child. We are also the only UK LAMP trainers. Please see our page for next training dates.

Andrea, our Clinical Director at ATtherapy, shares what ‘Every Voice Heard’ represents at ATtherapy and the values that sit at the heart of the company.

‘Our ATtherapy team supports all our clients to be able to express themselves in any / all ways. All communication, in whatever modality, meaning or content should be listened to and truly heard. Our clients’ voices and opinions matter. They should have agency and control over their own lives and decisions, whatever this means to them.

We also work collaboratively with families and the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), so their voices and considerations are heard in setting therapy targets and ways of working.

Our team matters too. Our ATtherapy team members voices are heard in our company ethos, development and we value each and every member.’

October is AAC Awareness Month!⭐

To celebrate, we wanted to shine a spotlight on ATtherapy’s values and approach with our new tagline: ‘Every Voice Heard’.

‘Every Voice Heard’ is a wonderful reflection of ATtherapy, highlighting our values, our aims and the services we provide. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to communicate, express themselves and have their voice heard.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing content that reflects what ‘Every Voice Heard’ means to us and the people we support.

Last week, Jacqui Malthouse from Smartbox and Tom Medley from Liberator visited our Oldham office to deliver a hands-on session for our new ATtherapy team members, Julia, Faye and Amy. 😊

Jacqui introduced the team to Smartbox’s range of devices, discussed different vocabulary packages, demonstrated Grid for Schools, and gave everyone the opportunity to get hands-on with the Udaption mounts.

Tom introduced the team to a selection of Liberator devices, and discussed LAMP and their signature motor-planning vocabulary set. He also demonstrated the robustness of the devices with a live demonstration.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our new team members to explore the technology, ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the different AAC solutions available.

A big thank you to Jacqui and Tom for taking the time to visit us!

Deborah, one of our Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapists, was part of the ATtherapy team who attended Communication Matters . She’s shared some insights from her day, and we’re excited to share them with you! ✨

Deborah said:
“It was such a privilege to attend Communication Matters conference 2026 this year! The workshops, presentations, conversations and connections made were fantastic from beginning to end and I left Leeds on the Tuesday afternoon feeling so energised with a brain full of ideas to keep thinking about! I also enjoyed presenting a workshop with Kate Laws and Kate Reader in which we shared our experience of using a coaching approach linked with communication partner training. It was great to hear positive feedback from a range of people who attended our workshop session and to share contact details with new colleagues so we can keep conversations about the power of using a coaching approach going!”

What an incredible time our team had at the 2026 Communication Matters Conference! 🎉

We’re especially proud of the many members of our team who presented throughout the conference, sharing their expertise, experiences and passion with the wider community.

They also had a wonderful evening celebrating Communication Matters’ 40th anniversary at the celebratory dinner!

It was a brilliant opportunity to network, meet new people, learn from others and celebrate the amazing work happening across the communication community.
