How we can help

A full assessment involves a thorough discussion regarding your child's medical,  developmental and communication history as well as an observation of their communication during play. This session will include an assessment of their cranial nerves/oral anatomy, oral-motor and sensory skills, and informal assessment of their auditory comprehension and expressive language (both verbal and non verbal).

​

Full assessments take up to one hour and conclude with an initial analysis of the findings. Recommendations will be provided for the next steps which may be a personalised programme, onward referral or one on one treatment.

​

Assessments can be completed in person at your home or via zoom.

Treatment sessions are completed in your home and last approximately 45 minutes. These are completed as part of a block of between 8-12 weekly or fortnightly sessions. Activities will be provided to continue to work on as part of a family between treatment sessions. Treatment targets are determined based on the assessment results and your family goals. More than one block of treatment may be required following a period of time to consolidate the skills targeted.
