Assessment
Jen is highly skilled in making your child comfortable and every effort will be made to achieve this. For younger children, assessment may revolve more around play and observations. For older children more formal assessments can be used.
Jen can be available for an assessment of your child's communication either face to face or virtually. This will usually entail a combination of:
-
A full case history
-
Informal assessment through observations and play
-
Formal and standardised assessments​
-
Information gathering from key professionals​
​
Unsure if your child needs an assessment?

Recommendations
Following assessment families will receive written feedback in the form of a report and the next steps will be agreed.
Therapy
Jen holds over 14 years of experience providing therapy for children in a range of settings including clinic, home, nursery and school. At Bee Connected SLT we strongly feel therapy should be fun, motivating and rewarding.
Following assessment, Jen will be able to create a therapy plan tailored to your child's needs. This may include 1:1 therapy sessions, regular reviews or recommendations and advice to follow in your own time. Alongside child facing therapy therapy Jen is also able to liaise with professionals to provide a consistent approach when supporting your child's communication. This may include therapy within your child's setting if this is suitable.
