FAQ

Children: At the initial appointment, I will be getting to know you and your child by taking a case history, and finding out what you are hoping to achieve with speech and language therapy. If your child is very young or non-verbal, I will be observing how they interact with you, how they play, and thereby carrying out informal assessment of your child's communication skills. For older, speaking children, I will carry out more formal (paper-based) assessments along with the informal observations, to gain an understanding of their communication needs. Depending on which option you choose, I will either feedback my assessment results verbally or with a written report.

Adults: At your initial appointment, I will talk through your case history to find out about what has brought you to speech and language therapy, and then carry out appropriate assessment activities with you to determine where your communication difficulties lie. I will talk to you about what you want to do day-to-day, so that we can tailor goals and therapy to suit your activities and interests.
