Our Services:
Expert Assessment: We begin with a thorough assessment to identify the child's specific speech and language difficulties.

Our assessments are designed to provide a clear understanding of the child's strengths and areas for development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the difference between speech and language therapy?
A1: Speech refers to the physical production of spoken sounds, clarity of articulation, voice quality, and fluency. Language refers to understanding spoken and written information (receptive language) and the ability to express thoughts, ideas, and needs through spoken and written words (expressive language). Our therapists address both areas as needed.
Q2: How do I know if my child needs speech and language therapy?
A2: Signs may include difficulty understanding spoken language, limited vocabulary for their age, trouble forming sentences, unclear speech, difficulty following multi-step instructions, challenges with reading or writing, or struggles with social communication (e.g., taking turns, understanding non-verbal cues). If you have concerns, please contact us for an initial consultation.
Q3: What happens during an assessment?
A3: The assessment process involves gathering developmental history, parent/caregiver questionnaires, direct testing of listening comprehension and expressive language skills, analysis of speech sound production, and observation of communication in context. We aim to provide a comprehensive report outlining findings and recommendations within a few weeks.
Q4: How long does therapy typically last?
A4: The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the nature and severity of the difficulties, their motivation, and the goals set with their parents. Some children may show progress within a few months, while others may require longer-term support. Regular reviews will help track progress and adjust the therapy plan as needed.
Q5: How do I book an appointment?
A5: You can book an appointment by calling our phone number, +44 20 3858 0765, or by contacting us through our website, https://articulatekids.co.uk/. We will discuss your concerns and arrange a convenient time for an initial assessment session at our Petts Wood location.
