Assessment
Stephanie will need to carry out an initial assessment of the child's communication needs and strengths. A discussion with the parent/carer is needed to gain an understanding of the area of concern and a full case history will be completed.
Assessment results will then be discussed with you and a plan of action agreed. Depending on the child's needs, it may be that therapy sessions can be booked weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Therapy
Targets will be discussed with parents/carers and set for the child to work towards in therapy sessions. It is expected that activities should be continued in between sessions by parents/carers to ensure the child's targets are achieved.
Therapy sessions are on a 1:1 basis at the child's home and Stephanie will commit to personalising resources to maximise the effectiveness of therapy through improved engagement of the child.
Reviews
The child may need a review of their targets when they have achieved them. Stephanie may suggest a therapy break in order for their speech and language skills to be consolidated. Typically, between 1-6 months is an effective time for this, and a review session will be booked to reassess the child's speech and language skills.
