Assessment
Therapy
Understand the communication needs of your students
I provide bespoke assessment in a wide range of communication areas. I offer assessment packages for individual children, ranging from a summary assessment to a full communication and interaction assessment in support of an EHCP application.
ā
Assessment activities include formal and informal methods, observation and consultation.
ā
Following assessment, I provide a report for each child which is written to your specification (ranging from summary report with recommendations to full communication profile with recommendations and therapy programme).
Individualised Programmes
Following assessment, an individualised therapy programme can be provided which is child-centred, holistic and engaging.
ā
I am experienced in delivering a wide array of therapy approaches in social communication, language, speech, stammering, selective mutism, literacy and more.
ā
I am able to work one-to-one or deliver group therapy activities with children.
ā
I work collaboratively with each child, family and school to set goals and design a therapy programme which supports the child to maximise their communication outcomes.
ā
A key principle of my therapy approach is generalisation from the therapy room to real life, improving educational and social outcomes as communication skills develop.
