Speech therapy can be carried out at home or in school.
Speech therapy targets will be identified based on the assessment.
Therapy will be delivered through play, using approaches and techniques appropriate to your child's needs.
Ongoing assessment will monitor the effectiveness of speech therapy.
Advice will be provided about how your child can be supported at home and in school with homework activities where appropriate.
How long will therapy take?
Each speech therapy session will usually last up to 1 hour, depending on your child's attention and motivation.
The number of sessions required will depend on the nature and severity of your child's difficulties and his/her progress. I will try to give you an indication of the likely timescale, where possible.
We will discuss whether a break in therapy or discharge may be appropriate. This may be when your child's difficulties have resolved or are likely to resolve without further input, when his/her needs are being met, when consolidation of skills is required, or when further speech therapy is not considered to be beneficial.
