1. Free consultation
Schedule a short informal 15 minute phone consultation with a Speech and Language Therapist at Be Heard to outline any concerns you have regarding your child's communication skills. During this session, you'll receive professional guidance on whether it is felt your child would benefit from further assessment and/or therapy sessions from a Speech and Language Therapist.
2. Advice & Guidance session
An option for parents who wish for their concerns to be heard by a professional, and ideas to support their child’s communication themselves. Book a 60 minute in-depth phonecall with a Speech and Language Therapist where you will have the opportunity to share your concerns and receive professional advice and specific recommendations tailored to your child’s needs, without committing to further assessment or therapy.

This includes an in-depth assessment session, a case history phonecall with yourselves, analysis of findings, and a detailed written report with clear, practical recommendations to support your child at home and/or in their educational setting. These sessions can be carried out either within your home or your child's educational setting.
