SERVICES

When you need help and support with communication difficulties and/or dysphagia, we are the provider you need. Years of experience in professional and private therapy mean that we are equipped to handle a comprehensive range of services relating to speech and swallowing issues. It can be frustrating and confusing, which is why we aim to guide you through the process as smoothly as possible. 

​​

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

I see children for an initial assessment in our Earls Barton clinic room.

We will discuss all concerns and then present the child with activities in a relaxed, reassuring manner. When the assessment is completed, feedback and advice will be discussed with you. Within 10 working days I will send a full report and any programme or additional information as agreed. 

Home or school visits may be possible by arrangement.

THERAPY SESSIONS

The frequency of sessions will be agreed following the initial assessment. Therapy sessions consist of carefully and professionally planned activities which are motivating and enjoyable for the child to ensure they make maximum progress.

REVIEW

Children who are working on Speech and Language Therapy programmes are seen regularly at agreed intervals to review their progress towards their targets and to update their programmes and activities as required.
