Welcome to Babble and Speak.
Aiming to achieve communication for alL by offering
a variety of services targeted to support children from
18 months to 16 years of age

COVID-19 UPDATE:

During lockdown we have been offering Teletherapy to some of our current clients. We are pleased to share that after positive feedback we are now able to offer Teletherapy as an on-going therapy option. This is common place in other countries and gives us, as therapists, even more flexibility in helping achieve a child’s potential. We also have begun to book in clients face to face again following guidance from the government and our professional bodies .... they say you never stop learning and we have certainly tried to embrace that - time to share with our clients how we can embrace the change!

Our services:

Assessment

We can provide assessment face to face in a location that best suits you and your child.  Options include the child's home, nursery or school.  Alternatively we are able to provide virtual assessment. A basic assessment may last 60-90 minutes and would require observation, one to one working and discussion with the parent or carer.  A more in depth advanced assessment with a report can be carried out on request.

Intervention

Each child will require a different level of intervention and it is our ethos that this should be needs led, prioritised by the clinical needs of the child, and decided upon in agreement with the child’s parent or carer. 

We are able to offer:

·      Direct one to one sessions, usually lasting between 45-60 minutes at home or in an educational setting

·      Virtual one to one sessions, usually lasting between 30-60 minutes at home or in an educational setting

·      Advice sessions for adults (other than the main parents/carers) at home or school either in person or virtually

·      Liaison with other professionals involved with the child

Training

We offer a range of training packages to adults working with children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs.  These are ideally to be delivered in a school environment, either in person or virtually and include:

·      SLCN: The Who, What, Where, When and Why’s

·      Practice What we Preach: Incorporating Communication into Teaching Practice

·      SCERTS – An Introduction

·      ASC: Autism Awareness

·      Labels and Accessories: Your guide to Diagnosis’ and Definitions

We are also able to design training around a specific area of need – just ask!
