I am a level 2 Practitioner in PACT intervention. PACT is the only treatment model for autism to date that has succeeded in showing improvement in social communication skills and reducing repetitive behaviours.
I offer this therapy intervention to pre-school children who have a diagnosis of Autism or those on a pathway to a diagnosis. For further information about this therapy please follow the links:
I will endeavour to liaise with your child’s local NHS therapy service to co-ordinate and compliment the services we can provide.
I believe strongly in working with your child’s pre-school to ensure that everyone understands the nature of your child’s difficulties and the most appropriate way to support them every day in order to accelerate their progress.
I would be pleased to discuss your specific requirements with regards to therapy or training needs. We can work together to agree a detailed package of intervention based on the needs of individual children or groups of children.
I can offer informal and formal assessment, observations, review sessions, therapy sessions (1:1, small or larger groups) and report writing and target setting. Training can be arranged for staff members (groups or 1:1). I can undertake observations in setting and suggest ways to create a communication friendly environment which will enhance the speech and language skills of all the children who attend.
These fun and enjoyable sessions are usually undertaken at home. For younger children, assessment always involves play. Observing your child play allows me to gain a deep understanding of how they are learning, the level of their attention, assess their understanding of what is said to them, as well as expressive language and speech sounds.
The session will include:
Examples of what may be offered include:
This is an intensive therapy programme delivered by me, a highly experienced and specialist Speech and Language Therapist, at home over 12 sessions. This is a package rate which includes all of the support you and your child will need over 6 months.
Depending on length of contract negotiated, a minimum of half a day – 3 hours is required.
