Therapist-led screening

from £350



This package involves:

Screening aims to identify children in need of support, it is not a full detailed assessment.

Typically we would screen a whole year group, most often your Reception intake, although you could choose to screen other years too if there are concerns about a specific cohort.


Screening your children for speech and language needs helps you:

- identify what interventions are needed

- identify staff training needs

- make appropriate referrals


At the end of screening, you will receive brief notes about each child, indicating any concerns and recommendations. I can also suggest where a child might fit into your existing intervention groups, or suggest which interventions to focus on to meet the needs of a year group. If you need support with setting up specific interventions and training your staff to deliver these, this can be arranged separately.

Cost:

1 day screening (I can see approximately 12 -15 children in a day) £350


Please contact me at [email protected] to discuss your needs as a setting, an individualised package can be worked out to suit the size of your setting.
