Services & Fees

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

When you book an assessment appointment, I will then ask you to complete a questionnaire about your child's development that can be returned to me prior to your appointment. Assessment sessions may include a visit to you and your child at your home and/or a visit to your child in pre-school or school. We can then discuss your child's communication skills and the support they may need.

I can provide a brief summary report or a more detailed report depending on your preference.

Assessment of your child's needs in your home for up to one and half hours including:

Pre-assessment Questionnaire (details about your child's development, medical history and interests)
Observation and assessment of your child's communication skills through play, where appropriate.
Some formal assessment may be used.
Guidance for supporting your child's speech and language at home
Written summary of discussions and recommendations
Liaison with your child's preschool or school as required.

THERAPY SESSIONS

One-hour sessions held at your home or in your child's school setting:

Fun activities to develop your child's speech and language skills.
Demonstration of games and activities that you will be able to play with your child between appointments.
Feedback given within the 1-hour session and discussion of progress at every session. If you are unable to attend a therapy session, feedback and progress can also be seen when you use your personal log in at My Therapy Tracker.
Resources given to suit your child's needs.
Goals sheet detailing what your child can do and what we are aiming for.

Please Note:

It is essential that either a parent or member of staff are involved in the therapy sessions.
A quiet environment will help to make the therapy sessions as successful as possible.
The number of therapy sessions will vary according to the needs of your child. A usual starting point is between 4 to 6 sessions. Sessions will then be reviewed and discussed to see if your child needs further sessions.

£65 per session
