​​
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
I see children for initial assessment in their home, nursery or school where they feel relaxed and confident.
​
Children are encourage to complete a series of activities to show their communication skills development.
​
Afterwards, I will feedback to parents and discuss recommendations and next steps.
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.
