Assessment
A comprehensive overview of your child's communication needs is essential for their development. Assessment includes evaluating attention, receptive language (comprehension), expressive language, speech, social interaction, and play skills through fun activities, games, standardised assessment, and parent interview. I provide a thorough evaluation to ensure your child receives the best care possible.
1 to 1 Therapy
Activities and resources are tailored to meet the specific needs of your child and are both fun and motivating. I understand that location is an important factor, and I will work with you to determine the best setting for your child's needs, whether it be at home, nursery, daycare or any other setting appropriate for your child.
