Assessment - How Can We Help

We carry out speech and language assessments for a variety of different purposes. These include the following:

• At an initial appointment  an assessment is carried out by one of our team of experienced Speech and Language Therapists who will advise on the type of therapy your child needs.
• Assessments  and reports for children requiring Statements of Special Educational Needs.

Following each assessment a written report is provided which ranges from a brief summary to a detailed and comprehensive report including specific recommendations for therapy.

Children who have had recent Speech and Language Therapy Assessments carried out elsewhere may not need to be re-assessed at Edenside Clinic.
