Services

I can provide the following services;

• Assessments - It is vital to carry out a full and thorough assessment before starting any therapy.  I conduct a range of formal and informal speech and language assessments.  For younger children, this is often done through play and they may not even realise they are being assessed.  For older children, I ensure they are comfortable with me before starting assessment tasks to show me their full potential. Following assessment, a report and programme of activities will be provided to home and setting.
• Therapy - I offer direct therapy for speech sounds, language difficulties and stammering.  The therapy goals will be decided with myself, the child, parent(s) and setting collaborating together.
• Parent Training - I can provide parent-child interaction therapy which enable parents to use evidence-based strategies to promote speech, language and communication skills through play.  It is important to me that parents feel skilled to support their child's communication journey, as they are the ones who will make the biggest difference.
• Setting Training - I am experienced in carrying out training for early years and school settings in speech, language, stammering and selective mutism.
• Selective Mutism - this area differs to other types of therapy, in that often a programme is delivered entirely by parents and setting.  I can provide the advice and support to ensure this programme is delivered as effectively as possible.
