Online Consultations

ChildSpeech Online Consultation

 

If you want to discuss your child’s needs with a professional and start trying some strategies to help, a Child Speech online video call consultation may be what you need.

  • Online consultation with a Speech and Language Therapist with skills in your child’s area of need.

  • Discuss your child’s speech, language, communication or interaction needs.

  • Receive advice, strategies and signposting based on your child’s needs.

Benefits of a Parent Consultation

  • No waiting list

  • Help you understand your child’s needs

  • Allow you to start trying strategies and activities to support your child’s speech, language, communication and interaction.

How does it work?

  • You will be sent a short questionnaire to complete and return prior to the appointment

  • You will be invited to an online Zoom appointment with a therapist who has skills in the areas you have described

  • Appointments are 30 minutes in length

  • The Zoom appointment is for parents/guardians only, the child should not attend

  • Following the appointment, you will be emailed advice, strategies and signposting based on the needs discussed.

What happens after the online consulation?

  • Your child can remain on the waiting list for Speech and Language Therapy via Child Speech

  • Parent Consultations do not replace direct assessment of a child’s needs – this is still recommended if there are concerns regarding your child’s speech, language, communication or interaction

  • The therapist may recommend you request referral for your child to other services.

How much does it cost?

  • The cost is £75.

If you would like a Parent Consultation appointment, please contact kate.shaw@childspeech.co.uk and you will be sent a questionnaire. We will then put you in contact with a therapist with skills in the area your child has needs who can offer you a Zoom appointment slot, available slots depend on each therapist’s availability.

Your child will remain on the waiting list for direct assessment. The Online Consultation is a one-off consultation and advice appointment.
