My Services
I offer a range of speech and language services. These are personalised and meaningful to each individual and/or setting.
I work holistically, considering the whole child/young person in my work. This means I will look into their whole profile, including sensory, social and emotional as well as speech and language. Communication is the whole person . It is important to me that my work improves a child/young persons outcomes and quality of life.
Therapy and Schools
Assessment
I can provide initial assessment to inform future therapy, programmes and Education, Health and Care plans.
Assessment charges depend on the nature of each assessment.
Assessment is tailored to each individual, it involves conversation, observation and best of all play! It can take one session or multiple and aims to meet a child where they are at to identify their strengths and needs.
Therapy
Therapy plans are meaningful and bespoke to each individual and delivered as agreed following assessment and indication of the needs of the individual. Therapy may might target single or multiple goals.
Therapy is collaborative, and we are always working towards a space where a child and their family and team, no longer need the input. Where their skills can effectively support the child at that time.
Family Support
I offer online support for families, this might be in setting up an augmentative and alternative communication device, checking in on a child's language developmental through language samples and offering strategies to support and extend communication.
Schools
I work with school settings to offer SLT direct services to students in line with their EHCP, or as agreed by the school.
I also work with special school provisions in a more operational way, considering school development and improvements that can enable children to experience more communication success, through policies, approaches and training.
