Our team of qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapists specialises in identifying and addressing difficulties that can impact a child's ability to understand and use spoken language, develop reading and writing skills, express their thoughts and feelings, or interact effectively with others. We work with children facing a range of challenges, including articulation disorders (difficulty saying specific sounds), phonological disorders (patterns of sound errors), language delays or disorders (receptive and expressive language difficulties), literacy development issues, and social communication challenges.

Following assessment, we develop individualised therapy plans focused on clear, achievable goals. Therapy sessions are engaging and fun, tailored to the child's interests and developmental level, ensuring they are motivated and actively involved in their progress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What age range do you work with?
A1: We primarily work with children from infancy through to young adulthood, typically up to the age of 19, although this can sometimes extend depending on the individual needs and funding pathways.
Q2: How do I book an initial assessment?
A2: You can book an initial assessment by calling our Petts Wood clinic directly at +44 20 3858 0765. Our friendly team will gather some initial information and arrange for you to bring your child for an assessment session at our Scotsdale Cl, Petts Wood, Orpington BR5 1NU location.
Q3: What happens during the assessment?
A3: The assessment process involves gathering information about your child's development and history, followed by direct testing of their listening comprehension, spoken language, articulation, fluency, and social communication skills. We may also observe your child interacting. The assessment aims to provide a clear picture of their strengths and areas for development.
Q4: How long does therapy typically last?
A4: The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the nature and severity of the difficulties, their motivation, and the goals set. Some children may require short-term intervention (weeks or months), while others may benefit from longer-term support (over several months or years). Regular review points will be scheduled to monitor progress.
Q5: Can you work with my child if they are already receiving support at school?
A5: Absolutely. We often work alongside schools to provide consistent support. We can share reports and collaborate on strategies. If your child is receiving support within the Orpington area schools, we can discuss liaising with their school to ensure a coordinated approach to your child's communication development.
