THE ARCOS MISSION:

ARCOS exists to promote and provide information, advice and support for people with communication and/or swallowing problems.

ARCOS works to increase public awareness and understanding of normal communication, the ways in which it can be disrupted and methods to reduce such disability and handicap. ARCOS provides multi-disciplinary assessment and therapy including speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, special educational needs teaching and counselling. This comprehensive approach is not widely or adequately available through the NHS or any other organisation. ARCOS is working towards establishing a unique centre for those with communication problems.

ARCOS is concerned to help children with difficulties in developing communication because of impaired language or problems in learning to read or write as well as those whose communication is disrupted through accident or illness.
