With assessment packages starting from £120, and therapy sessions starting from £80, Jen is committed to helping you overcome communication barriers. Jen can be available for virtual or telephone appointments, or work face to face from your own home and child's education setting.
Attention and Listening Skills
If your child struggles to listen and attend to activities or focus on a task, they may need some support to improve this.
Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia
Some children have specific difficulty making and coordinating the precise movements that are required for speech sound production. Therapy can provide structured repeatative exercises that focus on developing the motor planning for speech.
Developmental Language Disorder and
Language Delays
Some children may find understanding or using spoken language difficult. Your child may already have a diagnosis or require assessment to identify their strengths and needs. Jen will be able to use a combination of formal and informal assessment to assess their level of communication, the provide tailored therapy to support these areas.
Selective Mustism
Some children present with an anxiety or fear of speaking in certain situations. Therapy can help provide strategies which support gradual exposure to speaking through positive reinforcement and collaborative work with parents and teachers.
Speech Sound Delay or Disorder
Your child may struggle to move their mouth, lips or tongue to make sounds accurately. This can make them difficult to understand. Assessment and therapy can be made motivating and enjoyable, whilst focusing on the sounds and processes the child finds difficult.
Social Interaction Skills
Some children find it difficult to know how to act and react and interact to the people around them. Some neurodevelopment disorders can have associated difficulties with social interaction for example Autism. Through targeted interventions the child can enhance their ability to engage with peers and adults.
