Our Assessment Process
Our journey with a child begins with a thorough and individualised assessment. We conduct comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint specific areas of strength and difficulty. This process involves gathering information about the child's medical history, developmental milestones, and observing their communication skills in various contexts. We believe in a collaborative approach, often involving parents and, where appropriate, school liaison officers from local Orpington schools, to ensure a complete understanding of the child's needs within their specific environment.
Our Therapy Services
Based on the assessment findings, we develop a personalised therapy plan designed to address the unique challenges faced by each child. Our therapy sessions are engaging, fun, and tailored to the child's interests and developmental level. We utilise evidence-based techniques to target goals related to:
Articulation and Phonology: Helping children produce speech sounds accurately. Language Development: Building vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and expressive language skills. Fluency: Addressing stuttering or disfluencies to promote smooth speech. Receptive and Expressive Language: Enhancing understanding and the ability to use language effectively in spoken and written form. Social Communication: Developing skills for understanding and using language in social contexts, including understanding non-verbal cues and conversational skills.Therapy can be delivered in various formats suitable for our local clients, including one-on-one sessions at our Petts Wood clinic, or we can offer support directly within the child's home or school environment in Orpington, subject to availability and specific needs.
