Q: How can a private speech and language assessment help my child?
A: It can identify what your child is finding difficult (as well as their strengths) and help plan a way forwards.
Q: I know my child has some communication needs but what can I do about the fact there is little or no service locally?
A: Private speech and language therapy enables you to take control and get the support for your child that they need.
Q: I’m worried I won’t be able to afford the sessions or that there might be hidden charges.
A: Write2Talk operates fair pricing where there are no hidden charges and nothing is planned without agreement. Therapy can cease at any point as you are in control.
Q: What can I do about my child’s suspected Dyslexia as there is no provision at their school for testing?
A: A private diagnostic assessment will identify their specific learning needs and provide pointers as to the kind of support they require.
Q: What can I do about my child’s stammer as there is such a long waiting list for therapy?
A: Private therapy can support you and your child with their stammer.
Q: My 5 year old’s speech is hard to understand and they are getting frustrated. I’ve been told they’ll catch up but I’m not convinced – what can I do?
A: A private assessment will identify whether the speech will simply catch up or if therapy is needed.
Q: My teenager is struggling to understand things at school like questions, remember instructions or know what words mean. They’re starting to get into trouble. I’m so worried - what can I do?
A: A private assessment can be carried out in school (with their agreement) where the child is observed and strategies to support them are identified.
Q: My child has cerebral palsy and I have been told there is little we can do to improve their speech. Can we try anything?
A: It depends on the individual case – a careful assessment will identify what can be done. PROMPT therapy can be very useful in these cases.
"Leona is a very positive, engaged, and knowledgeable professional, who we believe has assisted our son considerably in the time we have worked together. We were specifically looking for a PROMPT-trained therapist, and after much searching we are very pleased we found her! Getting a young boy to sit still and concentrate for an hour is hard at the best of times, but when also asking them to complete difficult exercises, it can become very challenging - but Leona has enough games and patience to get the most out of our sessions. As many parents know, it's often impossible to isolate one specific thing that has made a difference, but we're convinced Leona has made and continues to make a significant positive impact in our son's progress."
