Last Update & Current Legal Terms & Conditions: November 2024
We hope this information helps give clarity regarding input and costings. A key costing point to note is virtual sessions have no travel costs. We start with an initial assessment as the SLT will need their own professional baseline. You then receive a report which you are free to share as necessary and that may be enough to get you started. If you feel direct therapy after this would be helpful the frequency and location of this can be discussed together and we can get it booked in.
Remember you can self-refer to the NHS SLT and the private SLT will liaise with all involved to achieve consistency.
The First Session is an Initial Consultation & Assessment (£300):
1 hour approximately- Case history, direct/indirect/video with/of individual, verbal feedback.
Report – Notes key information, signposts to organizations/resources/strategies.
Due to the amount of case history/discussion that takes place these are often best done virtually with the caregivers. Video can then be sent to the therapist of the young person to provide a broader set of observations and analysis.
Standard Therapy Session (£120):
45 minutes- Direct/Indirect contact with the individual/parents/careers/staff, planning and note keeping.
In-Depth Assessment (Cost dependent on requirements)
Personalized service with detailed report.
Input Considerations
Number of Therapy Sessions- Varies depending on client’s needs.
Ending Input – Parents have the right to end treatment early as do therapists.
Other Professionals – Sometimes another source of input may be recommended first. A Speech Therapy Life SLT may not be the best fit for ongoing therapy.
Waiting Times – There could be a wait time.
Not Required – Not all assessments lead to a need for direct input.
Training (Cost dependent on requirements)
Training costs vary depending on the length of the course and the number of participants.
Resources (Cost depends on requirements)
