It is important to gain an accurate understanding of client strengths, challenges and interests to formulate meaningful and client-centred goals. We want to see our clients succeed in speech therapy, and most importantly to enjoy the process!
The first step is to schedule an initial consultation. The goal of this session is to get to know you/your child’s needs, and discuss the process and expectations of speech pathology. For children, this will generally be an initial appointment with the parent/caregiver to discuss the child's history and presenting areas of concern.
From the initial consultation, Rhiannon will meet with you/your child, focussing on building rapport and getting to know them. All speech pathology sessions can look different, as sessions are individually tailored based on a variety of factors such as age, stage of development, interests and temperament. At this stage a combination of informal and formal assessment tools may be used to identify an individual's need for ongoing speech pathology services.
After the initial consultation and any subsequent assessment sessions, a feedback appointment will be scheduled to discuss the results and therapy plan, including goals and future service needs.
After this initial assessment stage, a one page summary can be provided. However, for some purposes it may be necessary to receive a detailed assessment report (for funding purposes for example). This report will be formally written and contain in-depth detail (e.g. scores) of assessments that have taken place. Please advise at the time of client intake if a report is required.
