The Yorkshire Speechie
Our services
We offer a neurodiversity affirming approach to speech and language therapy services, tailored to meet the needs of our young people and their families. Our team is dedicated to providing expert care and support, working alongside parents to provide individualised therapy and support. These services are offered in our Wakefield based clinic. Please note that we do not currently offer home visits or therapy within the child's school.
Initial Assessment
(with or without report)

An initial assessment is required before booking other clinical services. This takes around 40 minutes to complete and allows the therapist to carry out assessments, observations and discuss your child's speech, language and communication skills. Completion of this assessment is essential for the therapist to determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach and interventions tailored to your child's needs.
Reports are typically recommended for children new to speech and language therapy (SaLT) services or those requiring a formal statement of needs for their educational setting or evidence to support the Right To Choose pathway.
Initial assessment (no report): £90
Initial assessment (with report): £130
Standard therapy sessions
Therapy sessions are typically around 40 minutes in length, followed by 20 minutes of administration time for the therapist to record the progress that your child has made and to plan their next session. This is suitable for children with speech sound difficulties and language difficulties/disorder.
Standard therapy session: £60

Short Therapy sessions
Short therapy sessions consist of 20 minutes of direct, face-to-face intervention. This format is particularly beneficial for younger children with speech and language challenges who may find longer sessions more challenging. Additionally, these shorter appointments offer a convenient option for parents with time constraints. This is also regularly offered for our late talkers, using the evidence based Building Early Sentence Therapy (BEST) sessions.
Short therapy session: £40

Child-Led therapy sessions
Our child-led therapy sessions allow our therapists to attain ongoing language samples that determine individualised support. These play-based sessions focus on special interests, sensory preferences and fun motivators that allow us to build communicative foundations for your child. These sessions enable families to learn how they can best support social communication and emotional regulation in the wider environment. Our therapists will advise at the session whether this would be beneficial to your child.
Child-Led therapy session: £50
Telephone consultation
A telephone consultation consists of a brief 5-10 minute call to determine whether your child needs our support. This step is not mandatory, as many parents choose to schedule an initial assessment directly. We provide this service at no cost before the initial assessment to help ensure your peace of mind.
Telephone consultation: Free
