Please feel free to telephone and discuss your therapy needs without charge.
This session will vary in time and complexity for different children but will involve taking a case history, additional information from nursery/school as appropriate and informal and/or formal assessment. This includes a short report. A more detailed report if needed will be offered pro rata at the therapy session rate.
A therapy session will usually last between 45 minutes to one hour. This is the time spent with your child and family. The fee also includes time spent outside the session in planning, preparation of materials and liaising with other professionals. It will always include what you can do to help your child offered in a way that works for you such as demonstration, written reminders or video.
It is appreciated that families may need to contact me between therapy sessions for help and advice so there is no charge for calls to parents or other professionals up to 20 minutes.
If therapy is at home, ad-hoc school liaison or multi-agency meetings may be required. This may be in person or via teleconferencing platforms.
Reports are required for different purposes. The cost of these will be discussed depending on the time needed to obtain assessment information, prior report reading and writing. Reports for an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) will be charged at £450 in addition to assessment with your child.
Travel is free within 5 mile radius of the therapists home - please check "About" for therapists base.
Full travel costs are incurred beyond this radius (as calculated one way) for each session, banded as follows:
band A: up to 5 miles - no charge
band B: 5-20 miles - £20
band C: 20-30 miles - £35
Further distances will incur session time in addition to band C travel. To be agreed prior to therapy.
To better understand your child’s abilities, parts of the assessment sessions may be recorded (both video and audio). This helps the therapist analyse the sessions in more detail later. Photos may also be taken to show activities in the program. These recordings and photos help track your child’s progress over time.
