Speech and Language Therapy for Children

Initial assessment
This session will normally take place in the child's home. It will involve:

• Detailed discussion with parents/carers of the child about their concerns
• Case history taken from parents/carers
• Informal assessment/observation
• Formal assessment if appropriate
• Recommendations for input

Other activities outside the session include:

• Preparation
• Follow up report
• Referrals (some referrals may require you to liaise with your GP)

Therapy
If you choose to take up therapy, it is likely to be in blocks of 8 sessions.

This is then followed by a break or consolidation period.

All costs are agreed before commencing assessment or therapy.

(See Terms for details of payment.)

Nursery and school visits
These may be useful in order to:

• observe the child in this larger setting
• observe interaction with peers and adults
• share information with key workers
• train TAs and integrate therapy programmes into the school/nursery
  

Additional assessment sessions and reports

If necessary, we would agree together before further assessment is carried out.

If a more detailed report is required then this will be at extra cost. Please note I will not write reports to be used in Tribunals.
