Concerned about your child’s speech, language or communication skills?Kate Ogden Speech & Language Therapy are here to help.
Therapy sessions tailored to the individual needs of your child and family and delivered in the comfort of your home.
When you can see your child is struggling to express themselves or is not quite at the same level as their peers, it’s understandable to feel concerned. However, parents’ instincts are often correct and early intervention is helpful. When language delays are resolved at an early age, there is a much better opportunity for the child to go on to develop good reading and spelling skills and learn to communicate well with others.
Speech, language and communication difficulties are surprisingly common. It is estimated that 10% of children starting school have speech, language or communication needs. I can work with children as young as 18 months old. For any concerns no matter how small, contact me for a free, no obligation phone consultation.
What to expect if you choose to book an appointment…
I can visit you and your child at a location convenient for you – at home, school or pre-school. I will discuss your concerns with you and take some background information about your child and their development. I will then assess your child’s speech, language or communication skills through play, formal and/or informal assessment. This usually takes about 60-90 minutes. If further input is needed to help your child, I will discuss this with you. This may be weekly (or less frequent) therapy sessions or advice and strategies to help you to help your child. Therapy sessions will always be tailored to the individual needs of the child and family and take a gentle, fun approach – children always make the best progress when they’re engaged and having fun!
