MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
-
I will discuss your child's strengths and difficulties with you to help you understand their needs and will signpost you for support
-
If I do not feel therapy is appropriate for your child I will make this clear to you so that you can make an informed decision
-
If I think that your child requires an SLT highly specialised in another area, I will let you know and will provide you with information about services/colleagues who may be better able to assist you, where possible
-
I will include parents and school staff in therapy where possible to enable you to support your child's ongoing development once therapy ends
