Q3: What does a typical assessment involve?
An assessment at our Petts Wood clinic involves gathering developmental history from parents/caregivers and the child (where appropriate), followed by standardized and informal assessments. These may include observations, play-based activities, reading aloud, language sampling, and specific tests designed to evaluate areas such as articulation, phonology, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and pragmatic (social) language skills.
Q4: How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the nature and severity of their difficulties, their motivation, and the goals set with their parents/caregivers. Some children may show progress within a few months, while others may require longer-term support. Regular reviews are conducted to monitor progress and adjust the therapy plan as needed.
Q5: What kind of therapy approaches do you use?
Our therapists utilize a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's specific needs. This may include techniques focused on motor learning for speech sounds (like the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol or PROMPT), language building activities (vocabulary, grammar, comprehension), conversation skills training, social communication strategies, and strategies for managing cluttered speech or stuttering.
