'The wait for a child speech therapist was a shock'
A mother has spoken of her shock at the wait her young son faced for speech and language therapy.
Emma Adams, from Ballymoney, sought help for Henry as she was concerned about his communication skills.
A report has found Northern Ireland children wait longer for speech and language therapy (SLT) than the rest of the UK.
The Department of Health said the health minister is committed to creating more SLT training places.
However, any increases will "have to be considered in the context of the very challenging financial situation" facing the department, it added.
Ms Adams became concerned when she noticed her son was not saying as many words as other children at 18 months.
