-
How do I pay for Speech and Language Therapy?An invoice will be created and sent out to you at the start of each calendar month. Invoices are paid via electronic bank transfer.
-
Where do you see clients?We can either visit your child at home or in school/nursery, depending on what is best for that child.
-
Can we employ your services as a school or nursery?As well as providing support to families at home and in the community, we are also able to provide services within schools, nurseries and specialist provisions. We are able to provide universal, targeted and specialist support. This may include assessment, individual or group therapy, as well as training for staff. We can provide support that is tailored to your setting.
-
Can I continue seeing an NHS Speech and Language Therapist whilst seeing an Independent Speech and Language Therapist?Yes, but please ensure you let both Speech and Language Therapists know as working collaboratively will ensure the best results for your child.
-
Should I be seeing an NHS or private/independent Speech and Language Therapist?Both NHS and independent Speech and Language Therapists hold the same qualifications so both should practise the same set of skills. However, independent therapy allows for reduced waiting times and more regular appointments.
-
Do I have to commit to scheduling therapy sessions following an initial assessment?Not at all, during assessment we use a range of assessment tools to gather information and gain a clear understanding of your child's speech, language and communication needs. We will provide you with a brief summary of need to outline our assessment findings and recommendations. If both parties feel that therapy could be beneficial to your child, then your child’s first therapy session can be scheduled.
