Speech and Language Therapy Sessions
A standard session typically lasts between ½ – 1 hour depending on the needs of the person.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of sessions of therapy that will be necessary. It is our usual practice to offer a pre-agreed number of treatment sessions, with an opportunity to review management options with you at the end of the period. You are free to withdraw from therapy at any time. Equally, if we feel that therapy is at any time not being effective we will discuss this with you and may recommend that we change the input or stop. It is important to note that therapy is generally effective but this cannot be guaranteed.
Fees may be subject to change.
