Dates of Children’s Speech and Language Drop-in Clinics Hertfordshire September-December, 2019 Drop-In Clinics Drop-In Clinics are for pre-school children, i.e. children who are 2 years 6 months and above and are not yet in full time school. If your child is in Reception class, please speak to school about your concerns. If your child is under 2 years 6 months, please speak to your Health Visitor and local Family Centre.
