Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What age range do you work with?
We provide assessment and therapy services for children from birth up to young adulthood.
2. Do I need a referral to start therapy?
While referrals are often sought from health visitors, GPs, schools, or other therapists, you can contact us directly to discuss your concerns and arrange an initial assessment appointment without a referral.
3. How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the nature and severity of the difficulties, and the goals set. Our therapists will provide you with a realistic timeframe based on the assessment findings.
4. What happens during the initial assessment?
The initial assessment usually involves a conversation with you about your child's history and concerns, followed by some informal observations and activities with your child to gather more information. The therapist will then provide feedback and discuss the findings and next steps.
5. Can you help with social communication difficulties?
Absolutely. Speech and Language Therapy is highly effective for children with social communication challenges, including those with conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We work on understanding social cues, initiating conversation, understanding non-literal language (like sarcasm), and developing conversational skills.
