 At POW we provide effective, bespoke speech and language therapy that fits the individual needs of your child.

​

We aim to provide early intervention to ensure your child has the best opportunity to develop their communication skills. 

​

We set goals which are functional and achievable, working together with you and other key people in your child's life.

​

At POW we don't "fix" children. We view all children as equal and able, regardless of their differences. Children don't need to be "treated" to fit a typical way of talking or behaving. Instead we focus on embracing differences and supporting you and your child to gain new skills to nurture their communication.

​

Therapy is a process and this may be slower for some than others. Commitment and perseverance is crucial when deciding to start speech and language therapy.

​1. I help your child to develop their communication skills to the best of their ability.

2.I assess what your child finds difficult and help those areas of communication. This may be: attention and listening, social skills, language skills, speech skills or preverbal skills.

​3.I provide parents with tools and strategies they can use in their daily lives to help their child to communicate more effectively.

​4.I share ideas on supporting early communication development (from birth) for all children through Instagram and Facebook (@pow.speechtherapy). Communication is a skill that ALL children need.
