Speech Therapy
Following a free initial discussion, Susie offers an assessment with recommendations and options for treatment. Therapy sessions typically last an hour and may involve tasks to practice between appointments to help achieve the best possible results. Inclusion of family members or significant others is welcomed, and confidentiality will be respected. Building confidence in communication may include sessions taking place outside the clinic if the client wishes to practice in real settings.
