How the clinic process works
Speech and Language needs identified by a parent or school
A telephone consultation is booked via the website to discuss your child's needs and whether a report is recommended.

An initial assessment is booked via our website with or without a report. Parent and child attend our welcoming clinic for an assessment. Our therapist will then advise on appropriate therapy options.
Book your therapy appointments using our website. Parent and child attend our clinic for therapy sessions.
Our therapists will continue to review your child's needs during their therapy sessions and discuss their progress with you. They will advise when they feel that therapy is complete
