Before booking in an initial assessment, we will arrange a free 30 minute phone call to discuss your child's needs, answer any questions you may have, and to help you decide whether I am the right Speech and Language Therapist for you and your child.

Assessments are tailored to your child's age, developmental level, and the concerns you have. Assessments may include:

• Background discussion with parents or school/nursery staff

• Assessment of your child via formal assessments, informal screening tools, or play based activities as appropriate

• Observation of your child within their school/nursery setting, or at home

Assessment appointments typically last between 60 and 90 minutes.

Therapy sessions usually take place face to face, either in your home or at school/nursery. In some situations, it may be possible to carry out therapy virtually via video call. The exact nature of therapy will depend on your child’s needs, age, and readiness for therapy. Recommendations will be discussed with you following your child’s assessment.
