I offer two types of assessment:
1- Comprehensive Assessment - £450
For some children a longer assessment will be required. These children are likely to present with communication difficulties which may be subtle or complex, that are having a significant impact on a number of aspects of their life (for example being able to access class teaching, understanding and coping with feelings, forming and maintain relationships) or they may have additional medical needs. This is also a useful option when requiring supporting evidence for a detailed report for education settings.
The session will take up to 2 hours of face to face time
Includes full case history
Use of informal and formal assessment
Information gathering through liaison with other professionals, for example SENCo or class teacher, Educational Psychologist
Verbal feedback and next steps agreed
Detailed report, including implications for access to education and activities of daily life
2 - Full Assessment Session - £175
A full assessment session to gain a thorough understanding of your child’s communication strengths and needs. This typically meets the needs of children with less complex communication difficulties, for example ‘late talkers’, children who stammer or who have speech sound difficulties.
The session will take approximately 1 hour
Includes full case history
Includes the use of informal and formal assessment, when required
Verbal feedback and next steps agreed
Includes one page summary report
