Services
I work with children and young people. Every child is different, so a first visit begins with an assessment - what already works, what does not yet, and what is worth doing from there.
Children's speech therapy
Unclear speech, articulation difficulties, stuttering.
The most common reason parents come is that their child speaks less clearly than other children the same age, or gets stuck. We work through play - with young children that is not a distraction, it is how a child learns.
Delayed speech and language development
The child started speaking late, says little, or has stopped using words.
We start with an assessment - what your child can already do and what is still hard - and only then is there any point discussing the plan. If I think therapy is not needed, I will tell you.
Children with special educational needs
Autism, pervasive developmental disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity.
A large part of my work in recent years. I am certified in the Montessori method for children with special needs. I work on communication - the diagnosis stays with the specialist who made it.
What the first visit looks like
A conversation
You tell me what worries you and since when. No testing, no judgement - just a conversation.
Assessment
I observe your child at play and check specific things. It takes about an hour and to the child it looks like an activity.
What happens next
I tell you plainly what I see - including if I think therapy is not needed. If it is, we make a plan.
If something is worrying you, call - even just to ask. I also reply to messages on Facebook and Instagram.
