SERVICES & FEES

I offer an initial telephone conversation to discuss your child's needs and the services I offer. This is free of charge and there is no obligation to proceed with further services. Please drop me a message to arrange a phone call.

Assessment sessions last 1.25 hours. The initial assessment includes a detailed case history from the child's parents/carers and the use of formal and informal assessments and observations during the session. This builds a profile of the child's speech, language and communication strengths and needs. Included in the fee is verbal feedback of the assessment and a one page document briefly summarising assessment outcomes. Reports can be produced for an additional fee.

Therapy sessions are typically 45 minutes; this may include a combination of therapy with your child and discussion time.

If your child's needs can be met without 'direct therapy' I may recommend a 'therapy programme' (see 'therapy programme' section) or an 'advice and strategies' session. 'Advice and strategies' sessions are one-off sessions where I can discuss and show you strategies to use at home.

Where direct therapy is not needed a therapy programme may be recommended; this is a written plan for you/school staff to work through with your child. This fee includes an initial session with me to model and talk through the programme, a session later on to review progress and a written therapy programme with resources.

I can provide written reports summarising your child's speech and language strengths and needs along with advice. If referral on to other services is required I can also provide a referral letter. Fees may vary depending on report requirements, but here are general fee guidelines: One page profile £50 Referral letter £50 Standard report £76

I am available to attend meetings at school or nursery with teachers and other professionals. If needed I can also do nursery/school visits in order to observe how your child functions within the nursery/school setting.
