Benefits of Booking Online Speech Therapy for Schools

• Book your full day (7 hours) or half day (3.5 hours) using our online booking system. We have immediate availability. 
• Schedule the session dates / times to suit you.
• No contract  – book session by session as and when you need. 
• We can still help you source onsite face to face Speech therapy whilst you get started online.
• Whilst the SLT workforce pool is significantly reduced and causing many delays for schools finding onsite therapists, we can assure you our online provision will offer you a great alternative whilst we keep recruiting a face to face SLT  for you.

How To Use Your Sessions

Direct Work With Students

• Formal and informal assessment 
• Setting of therapy targets

For Students Unable to Access Online Therapy

• For those students unable to access online therapy assessment directly we can make observations via class based and home based videos  alongside discussion with teaching staff / parent / carers to enable target setting. 
• A remote assessment tool – the ACT (Assessing Communication Together or an alternative baseline tool) to evaluate students’ key communication needs, by collating the baseline information from familiar teaching staff and parents / carers.  This will enable target setting and communication profiling for students who aren’t suitable for face to face online assessment. 

Support to Teachers

• Debriefing sessions for teaching staff, explaining assessment outcomes and therapy recommendations. 
• Hand holding sessions for teaching assistants to help them implement therapy recommendations.
• Small interactive online training sessions with therapists on key training areas.  Sharing of videos and materials to teach staff in key areas of SLT relating to their student’s presenting needs. 
• Lesson planning and differentiation with teaching staff.

Parent / Carer Support

• Communication passport being shared and help parents / carers to understand the young person’s communication needs. 
• Sharing short video tutorials for parents/carers on communication methods being used – eg PECS, visual timetable, objects of reference, signing, choice boards, speech sound support, behaviour support etc. 
• Supporting parent / carers on managing positive behaviour in young people to keep young people safe.
• Sharing advice sheets with parents / carers on the above.
• Phone call or video call support to parent carers to understand pressing concerns regarding communication methods at home and / or behaviour needs of the young person and to devise  support to address immediate concerns .
• Providing home learning materials and setting joint targets together where requested, so that  parents /carers can support the EHC learning needs to help the young person to maintain and progress where possible skills.
