An initial consultation lasts up to 1 hour and includes verbal feedback to explain initial impressions and recommendations.  Initial consultations include a thorough case history, observations, informal assessment, discussion and reading of reports from other professionals (as appropriate).   

  • Please note that all first appointments must be an initial consultation with either verbal, summary or detailed report.

A summary report of your child's difficulties that you can share with NHS professionals, nursery or school staff; this will include an outline of what we have been working on, and how your child is progressing.

For example visual timetables, communication books/boards etc.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Parents are free to withdraw a child from therapy at any time. Equally, if I feel that therapy is at any time not being effective, then I will discuss this with you and may recommend that we end the course of therapy.
  • Your appointment is not confirmed until I receive completed registration and consent forms!
