At Step Up Speech and Language, every child's journey is unique. Every new word, every conversation and every milestone matters.

Award Winning Speech and Language Therapist

That is why we are incredibly proud to share that Step Up Speech and Language has been named Best Speech and Language Therapist in Plymouth 2026 by the Quality Business Awards, making this the second consecutive year that founder Lisa Taylor-Jones has received this recognition.

The award is presented to businesses that achieve an overall quality score of 95% or higher, recognising excellence in service quality, reputation and customer satisfaction. A Recognition Built on Supporting Children and Families

For Lisa, this award has never been about collecting accolades. It is a reflection of the children, parents, carers, schools and nurseries who place their trust in Step Up Speech and Language every day.

As a specialist children's speech and language therapist in Plymouth, Lisa has dedicated her career to helping children develop the confidence and communication skills they need to thrive at home, in school and in everyday life. Over the course of her career, Lisa has helped hundreds of children overcome speech and language difficulties through personalised, evidence-based therapy.

Working across Plymouth, South Devon and East Cornwall, Lisa supports families with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs, always taking the time to understand each child's individual strengths and challenges.

Why Early Speech and Language Support Matters

Communication is one of the most important skills a child will ever develop.

It influences learning, friendships, confidence and emotional wellbeing throughout childhood.

Early identification of speech and language needs can make a significant difference, allowing children to access the right support at the right time.

Lisa explains:

"Early identification of children's needs means me and my team can put support in place quickly to help children catch up. Children love our one-to-one sessions because they have fun and feel confident about communicating!"

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you have concerns about your child's speech, language or communication, seeking professional advice can provide reassurance and help you understand the best next steps.

Two Years of Independent Recognition

Being named Best Speech and Language Therapist in Plymouth in both 2025 and 2026 is an achievement that reflects the consistently high standard of care provided by Step Up Speech and Language.

Receiving this recognition for two consecutive years reinforces Lisa's commitment to providing exceptional speech and language therapy for children and ongoing support for families throughout Plymouth, South Devon and East Cornwall.
