Services

I provide independent speech and language therapy services to children and their families, the education sector, the NHS and health service colleagues.

How I work

I can provide services from my own working premises or in your home. My location and directions can be seen on my contact page. I can also arrange visits to schools and nurseries as required. Here is a step-by-step guide to my consultation and treatment development process:

Initial telephone consultation

Here we discuss the needs of your child, and what the next steps might look like. We can also talk through the services and fees in more detail and diccuss how I can tailor my services to suit your specific needs and circumstances.

Assessment

This allows me to gather a full picture of your childs speech, language and communication needs. Often assessment will be a combination of formal, informal and observation as well as gathering background information.

Advice

I can provide a report defining your childs difficulties in each of the three key areas. From this I can advise you clearly on the best way forward for you and your child.

Following the initial consultation process a Programme of Intervention (PoI) is then developed in consultation with parents and tailored to the needs of both child and the parents.

Timescales can also be agreed and milestones set for monitoring progress. Timescales can be flexible to suit the needs of the child and the parents.
Programmes are designed with a mix of treatment sessions and work to be carried out at home maximising the parental contribution to the treatment whilst also keeping costs manageable.
Programmes can be designed with the fee structure in mind and can be specified in stages providing you with the option to proceed at the end of each stage. Progress reports can be delivered according to programme stages to keep you informed about your child's progress and giving you the opportunity to evaluate and commit to the next phase of treatment.
Programmes can also be designed and delivered on a session by session basis if required.
This approach offers you control and complete peace of mind in terms of the quality of the treatment for your child and the associated costs.
