Frequently Asked Questions

Assessment can take approximately an hour depending on the child and how much we have to discuss.

This depends on the age of the child and what we are working on. The usual session length would be 45 mins which includes discussion with parents about homework and progress.

It is preferable to have parent/caregiver involvement in the sessions as then you can see what we are working on and practise at home.

Your child will make the most progress if work given in therapy is practiced regularly at home. Therapy homework should not be time consuming and can be done in five minute blocks.

You are welcome to phone me to have a chat about your child’s communication before booking an appointment.

With permission from you, observations of your child’s communication can be carried out in school/early childhood centre if necessary. I will not discuss your child with anyone without your permission.

I can see your child until they are seen by an SLT in the public system or you can choose to continue with both services. I am able to liaise with other SLTs involved with your child.

Children are usually seen weekly but can be seen fortnightly.
