When you get in touch, I will send you an enquiry form to complete, to gain an idea of what your initial concerns are. I offer a range of services to help support your child with their language and communication development. This includes 1:1 sessions directly with your child, as well as training and coaching sessions for parents or education staff. A full outline of services is listed below:

Telephone Consultation

If you are looking for some general advice or strategies to help support your child’s language and communication skills, or may be unsure whether to refer your child to the NHS Speech and Language Therapy service, I offer a 30 minute telephone consultation where we can discuss this. I would offer advice whilst on the phone, and provide you with a copy of this in writing. 

Assessment

I will recommend an assessment package based on your concerns outlined in the enquiry form. However, please note that this may change upon meeting your child, and further in-depth assessment may be recommended. Assessments can take place at your home or your child’s nursery or school. I will gather a case history and information regarding your concerns with your child’s speech, language or communication skills. I will then assess your child through formal or informal assessments, e.g., play or observation. I will provide you with verbal feedback following the session, including advice and strategies you can use to support your child’s language and communication on a day-to-day basis. I will then complete a report, and if appropriate, a treatment plan with targets for your child, along with any resources that may be required. 

Therapy

Therapy sessions can take place at your home or at your child’s school. In these sessions, I will carry out activities to help support your child in the identified areas from the initial assessment session, outlined in their treatment plan. These sessions will also involve demonstrating activities to parents or teaching staff, as well as coaching as to how to incorporate these into their day-to-day environment. To achieve the best positive outcomes for your child, it is highly recommended that in addition to 1:1 therapy session with me, parents and teaching staff also carry out the activities and incorporate strategies into the child’s day-to-day life. 

Review

Review sessions can take place at your home or at your child’s school. These sessions will consist of reassessing previously highlighted areas of concern through formal or informal assessment, e.g. play or observation. I will provide you with verbal feedback following the session, including advice and strategies you can use to support your child’s language and communication on a day-to-day basis. I will then complete an up-to-date report, and if appropriate, a treatment plan with targets for your child, along with any resources that may be required. 

Training

I have extensive experience carrying out face-to-face and online training with both parents and nursery/school staff, and can offer bespoke training packages.
