Assessment

In order for Apple Tree’s therapist Anna Koppenhout to understand how your child is communicating in different settings, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire about your child’s communication and development before the first appointment.
Anna will assess your child’s communication using a combination of informal observation, play activities and, if appropriate, standardised assessments. Assessments usually take about 60 to 90 minutes.
Afterwards, we will discuss the outcome of the assessment with you and give you an opportunity to ask questions about your child’s speech and language. You will be given practical suggestions on how to encourage your child’s communication. A comprehensive report detailing the outcome of the assessment and recommendations will be provided if required.
