Assessment
At SLT for Kids we have qualified and experienced speech and language therapists who can carry out a range of assessments to suit the needs of your child. The speech and language therapists use the assessment to identify your child’s specific difficulties and the impact these have on your child’s daily activities at home and in school.
Benefits of SLT assessments:
- Gain insight into your child’s difficulties and their impact on home and school life.
- Define goals for therapy.
- Opportunity to discuss your concerns about your child’s difficulties.
- Tailored advice and strategies following the assessment on how best to help your child.
