Speech & Language Assessment
Assessments are always carried out in a child friendly manner and incorporate play. Speech and language therapy assessment will include observation, obtaining a case history from parents/carers, formal standardised assessment as well as informal assessment.
The assessment process includes a detailed consultation with parents/caregivers, a combination of informal & formal assessment (as indicated) and a detailed written report which can be sent to child’s medical team/used for resource hours
Speech & Language Treatment
Following your child’s assessment, we will devise specific measurable goals together. Therapy is customised for each child and a schedule of therapy will be agreed upon together. Usually therapy sessions last for one hour. All therapy is ‘child and parent focused’, this ensures that you fully understand why each activity is completed in the therapy process.
