Initial Assessment
It's important to have a chat on the phone before arranging an initial assessment. It may be that some general advice is all that is needed and so an assessment may not be necessary. It's also important to make sure that arranging an assessment with us will be helpful for you and your child.
The initial assessment visit lasts around 90 minutes.
This will always include gathering information from the child's parent / carer or other professional(s) involved in the session. It will also involve observing / assessing the child. This may be done informally through play or through the use of formal assessments depending on the age and needs of the child.
A summary report with advice and recommendations is included.
Usually one initial assessment visit is sufficient but sometimes a second session may be needed.
This may happen for example if an in-depth formal speech and language assessment is needed. This may contain several different subtests that would need to be carried out over more than one session.
Review / Follow Up Sessions
A follow up / Review session usually lasts up to 60 minutes. The price includes time spent preparing for the session and writing up the clinical notes afterwards. Any related telephone or email liaison required with other professionals for example school/nursery staff or NHS therapists is also included.
Therapy sessions can be booked and paid for individually or as a block.
A therapy session session lasts up to 45 minutes. The price includes time spent preparing resources that are used in the session and provided to parents / carers / professionals as well as time spent writing up the clinical notes afterwards. Any related telephone or email liaison required with other professionals for example school/nursery staff or NHS therapists is also included.
Sessions that are booked as a block and paid for in advance are discounted. The dates and times of appointments within the block can remain flexible if required.
Other Services
Sessions commissioned by schools can be booked as either half day or full day sessions. Please contact us to discuss further.
A summary report is provided as part of the initial assessment. If further reports are needed these can be provided. Pricing will depend on the purpose of the report and the level of detail needed.
