Face to face Speech Therapy
There are many benefits to having face toface speech and language therapy with SLT Leeds. We are aware that waiting times in the NHS are currently longer than desired.
At SLT Leeds, we can offer:
Appointments for assessments and therapy usually within 4 weeks or less.
Wider range of interventions and approaches to target your communication needs.
Bespoke resources to match your individual needs.
A service which is more responsive to your developing needs and therapeutic experience.
Flexible programmes (i.e. you don’t need to follow up a generic pathway).
A receptive service, which allows you to clarify any aspect of the advice or therapy.
Empowerment to the parent or individual, giving you more control over your therapeutic experience.
What will happen:
Following the return of the ST Leeds referral form, we will offer you an appointment slot. During this appointment, we will take a case history, make observations and use assessment tools where needed.
We then discuss any diagnoses with you, and plan an intervention if needed, including length of session, frequency, work to be carried out at home or in other settings, and which other professionals need to be involved.
When working with children, we use motivating, play based games and activities to achieve targets and review therapy at suitable intervals.
