Assessment process
We begin with the initial assessment appointment. This typically includes:
Case history taking.
Informal / screening assessments.
Observation.
Reading of reports from other professionals.
Discussion with child / parent / caregiver.
At the end of the assessment session:
Overview of findings.
Preliminary recommendations.
Discussion about options available e.g. further detailed assessment or therapy
Sessions.
Provided after the initial assessment session:
Short written report outlining assessment findings and brief recommendations
including case history, may take up to 2 sessions (2 hours).
Written programs.
Each session is usually delivered:
On a one-to-one basis, although group therapy may be appropriate in certain
Circumstances or through the internet (Telespeech therapy practice)
With parents / caregivers present. Parents / caregivers are actively encouraged to observe therapy sessions to ensure continuity between therapy sessions and work done at home.
The number of therapy sessions your child requires will depend on their individual needs. It may be between six to ten sessions, but we will evaluate this as we go along.
Review/monitoring sessions are carried out following:
Discharge
Children will be discharged from the practice:
At the end of an episode of care. This is when the treatment is complete and when your childs potential is achieved in the area targeted by therapy.
Parents/caregivers may also withdraw their child from therapy at any time they wish.
All
decisions about therapy are made following
joint discussions. Before discharge well
discuss the best way for you to maintain
your childs progress. Children can be
re-referred to the practice if further
concerns develop.
