At home and in clinic

• The first step in the speech pathology process is the clinical intake 30min phone call. At this appointment we will collect information about you or your child’s communication from you.

• We will arrange a face to face session to observe your child at play, and administering some screening tests for benchmarking, further investigation or inform therapy goals.

• Following the assessment appointment, it is likely that your child will attend a series of therapy sessions. These appointments are usually once a week or fortnightly for 45 minutes.

• Sessions are individually designed for your child’s area of difficulty and are planned to ensure your child achieves success, feels safe and confident and has fun!

• Therapy is play-based; however, video recordings, information handouts or written explanations are provided so you can revise their work at home between sessions.

• Your child will make the maximum progress if work can be revised and completed between speech sessions. We recommend 5-10 minutes of practice a day. 

• When required standardized assessments will be administer and and analyzed, the findings are recorded in a professional report with recommendations which can be useful for yourself, teachers, doctors or other health professionals.
