Speech & Language Therapist in Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey

Therapy

Following assessment, if therapy is recommended, you do not have to take this up unless you choose to. Should you wish me to provide this however, there will not normally be a wait for therapy. Sessions will normally be offered in your own home, or your child’s school/nursery, as this is usually convenient for families and enables me to see your child in a natural environment. Families are asked to provide a quiet space for assessment, free from distractions (such as TV) as far as possible. Therapy sessions are usually offered once a week for an agreed period of time and will usually last 45 minutes, including around 30 minutes of specific work with your child and 15 minutes reviewing progress and suggesting tasks to carry out over the following week. Occasionally, longer or shorter therapy sessions may be given, if this is thought to be the best for your child.
