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.
