Speech and AAC resources in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland's health system (HSCNI) provides SLT through five Trusts. Specialist AAC is commissioned regionally, and charities like the Mae Murray Foundation provide community support.

Five HSCNI Trusts — Belfast, Northern, South Eastern, Southern, Western — provide community paediatric and adult SLT.

Specialist AAC referrals are routed through regional pathways, typically consolidated via the Belfast Trust.

Mae Murray Foundation is a leading disability-inclusion charity with strong community links for AAC-using families.
