What to expect from a speech and language therapy assessment

As a parent, the prospect of an initial appointment with an SLT may seem like a daunting prospect. To make the process as easy as possible, we explain what happens.

BEFORE THE SLT APPOINTMENT:

Before your appointment, we like to speak to you on the phone to check that - firstly - your child definitely needs an assessment of their SLCN and to determine what level of assessment you may need. We will also discuss where the assessment should take place (your home, clinic or your child’s school). At London communication clinic, we offer a range of assessment packages including screening, comprehensive and also very specific assessments for education health care plans or SEND tribunals. This is so as to provide you with what is most relevant and appropriate for you and your child.
