Assessment
We use a range of informal and standardised assessments to identify your child's speech and language needs. For younger children assessment is predominantly play based. We take an in-depth case history to understand any other factors.
If you have concerns about your child's feeding, we will go ahead and observe a mealtime.
SPEECH
We use evidence based therapy approaches to support your child's speech development and allow them to express themselves clearly.
LANGUAGE
We help your child to talk (expressive language) and understand others (receptive language). This includes expanding their vocabulary, forming sentences, telling stories, using grammar correctly, following instructions and understanding questions.
FEEDING
We help your child to eat and drink safely and effectively. We support with making mealtimes more enjoyable for everyone.
