We offer a comprehensive assessment of your child's speech, language and communication needs. We provide a flexible approach to speech and language assessments by using a mix of formal (standardised and norm referenced) and informal assessments. Initial assessment takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes and time is taken to discuss your child's specific strengths and difficulties and to agree the best course of action for you and your child. 

Following assessment, if required, we offer a menu of bespoke therapy services. This may include one to one weekly, fortnightly or monthly therapy sessions and/or small group therapy sessions. Clear goals and timescales for therapy are agreed with you at the  outset and progress is monitored at each session. Therapy is planned to ensure your child feels relaxed and is having fun while also always ensuring that therapy continues to be effective. 

We offer liaison with other professionals who may be involved with your child. This may include nursery or school staff, other healthcare professionals or other Speech & Language Therapists working with your child within the NHS. Liaison may include visits to your child's nursery or school to gain a better understanding of your child's needs and to provide practical strategies and resources to help your child achieve their specific therapy goals.
