ASSESSMENT
The assessment session with parent and child will involve observations during play/ conversation, informal and/or formal assessment and typically takes 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the assessment type. This may be spread out over 2 sessions if appropriate.
Assessment results and a therapy plan will be discussed at the first therapy session. Depending on results, this may involve a subsequent block of therapy or provision of a home programme
Speech and language therapy assessments will vary depending on the individual. An assessment may be:
- Assessment of Articulation and Phonology (speech)
- Fluency Screening (stuttering)
- Comprehensive Speech and Language Assessment
- Early Communication Assessment (under 3 years)
Therapy sessions can be one-on-one or in small groups depending on availability. Therapy will be based on the goals derived from assessment. Therapy provided is person-centred and tailored to meet your child’s needs.
A typical therapy session will last 45 minutes and will involve discussion with the parent/ carer, play-based goals (therapy should be fun!), modelling of techniques and provision of weekly homework activities.
