Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I know if my child needs speech and language therapy?
If you have concerns about your child's speech, language, communication, or social interaction skills, it's advisable to seek an assessment. Signs may include difficulty understanding instructions, limited vocabulary for their age, unclear speech, difficulty making friends, or avoiding conversation. Contact us for an initial consultation to discuss your concerns.
Q2: What does the assessment process involve?
The assessment process typically involves an initial conversation with a therapist to understand your child's history and concerns, followed by formal assessments which may include observations, play-based activities, and standardised tests. The assessment aims to identify your child's strengths and areas for development.
Q3: How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, the complexity of the difficulties, and the goals set. Some children may benefit from short-term intervention, while others may require longer-term support. Our therapists will provide you with an estimated timeline based on the assessment.
Q4: Do you offer therapy for children with specific conditions?
Yes, our therapists are trained to work with children experiencing difficulties associated with various conditions, including but not limited to developmental delays, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and Speech, Language, and Communication Needs (SLCN). We focus on the individual needs of each child.
Q5: How can I prepare my child for their first session?
No specific preparation is needed. We aim to make the first session welcoming and non-intimidating. We may suggest bringing items your child enjoys, like a favourite toy or book, to help them feel comfortable. The therapist will engage your child through play and activities they find motivating.
