General Speech & Language Assessment

What the General Assessment process looks like

Parent Interview: We begin by understanding your child’s unique communication journey through an interview with you. Your insights help us create a comprehensive perspective. 

Child-Centric Activities: Formal and informal activities engage your child in a comfortable and supportive environment. These activities allow us to assess their communication skills thoroughly. 

Why Choose this Initial Assessment
Expert Guidance: Spend professional quality time with a qualified Speech and Language Therapist that brings over 15 years of experience to the table, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment. 

Holistic Approach: I will consider various aspects of your child’s communication, including speech, language and other related skills, to provide a holistic understanding of their interests and needs for therapy. 

Personalised Insights: Following the assessment, you’ll receive feedback of your child’s strengths, challenges and potential areas for growth in therapy. This insight forms the foundation of our tailored therapy approach. 

Prior to booking you can choose whether you want verbal feedback or for a written report to be prepared.

Which is better…getting verbal feedback or a written report?

Verbal feedback is suitabe if you wish to begin therapy promptly and do not require documentation to share with other professionals. This option is more streamlined and cost-effective.

A written report is recommended if you would like a formal document outlining your child’s strengths, needs and recommended support. This is particularly helpful when sharing information with schools or other professionals. 

Written reports are typically completed within 10 working days following the assessment and involve additional preparation time, which is reflected in the cost.
