What to expect?

Following a free initial telephone consultation, we will be able to advise whether independent speech and language therapy is the best option for you. If you decide to go ahead with speech and language therapy, you will be seen in your own home. The initial appointment will usually be for an assessment of the communication/swallowing difficulty and the number of treatment sessions will vary largely between each client depending on their needs.
