Therapy
At Apple Tree we always assess a child before planning any therapy sessions. This is really important, as it lets us know if therapy is required and, if so, what kind of therapy would be best.
After the assessment we will devise an individualised treatment plan for your child. Therapy is adapted to suit each individual child’s needs. We may use a variety of techniques and therapeutic approaches, as appropriate. What happens in therapy sessions?Therapy activities are designed to be motivating, so that your child enjoys the sessions. Therapy sessions usually last an hour and will be offered as frequently as your child needs.

Where do sessions happen?
Children are usually more relaxed in a familiar setting. Your child may be seen at home, nursery or school to suit his or her needs.
We usually visit children in Kingston Upon Thames, New Malden, Wimbledon, Surbiton, Thames Ditton, Richmond, Esher, Worcester Park, Raynes Park and surrounding areas. However, even if you don't live in these areas, please get in touch to see if a visit can be arranged. We also offer online therapy.

Who needs to get involved?
Parents are involved throughout the therapy process.
In addition, all those who know a child may contribute to encouraging the speech and language development. With parental consent our therapist may work with others, such as childminders or teachers, who are regularly involved with your child to support communication development.
We can provide suggestions of activities to encourage communication every day for parents, childminders or teachers as appropriate.
