Assessment
An initial telephone call is arranged to discuss the concerns relating to the child. Sometimes a chat on the phone with general advice is enough to reassure parents/carers.
If families want to go ahead with an assessment this can be arranged to take place either at the family's home or the school/pre-school setting. Following the assessment a brief report will be provided summarising the session with any advice or recommendations included. The initial phone call is free. There is a fee charged for the assessment visit and report.
Therapy
Therapy
Strategies and advice to support the child's communication will be given following the initial assessment. However if further input from a speech and language therapist is recommended then therapy sessions can be arranged if requested. These can be booked individually or in blocks of sessions. Parental or carer involvement in the therapy process is really important and practice between sessions will increase the impact of therapy.

It's not one size fits all
It's not one size fits all
The needs of each family or client are unique. Christine believes in a client-centred approach to assessment and therapy. Evidence based practice is at the core of how we work and combining this with putting the client at the centre of decision making results in the best outcomes.
Aims for intervention will always be discussed and agreed with families and clients. If therapy sessions are arranged targets will be set so that there is a clear and measurable goal to work towards. However a child's progress and their responses to therapy can be variable therefore a flexible approach is maintained throughout.
