What is speech therapy?

Speech and language therapy provides treatment, support and care for children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing. Here at Hope Therapies we work mainly with children who have communication difficulties.

Question 4

What is occupational therapy?

Accepted Answer

Occupational Therapy helps your child live their best life at home, at school and everywhere in between. It’s about being able to do the things you want and have to do. That could mean helping them overcome challenges learning at school, playing with their friends or simply managing their environment. Everything is focused on increasing independence and wellbeing. It’s a science-based, health and social care profession that’s regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council.

Question 5

How do I know if my child needs Speech Therapy / Occupational Therapy?

Accepted Answer

It may be that another health or education professional has recommended this. However, the best way to find out if we can help is to contact us for a chat. We will never recommend therapy unless it is clinically warranted.

Question 6

Are all your therapists qualified?

Accepted Answer

All of our therapists are registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council and adhere to all of their professional guidelines and regulations. We are all fully qualified in our professional fields and complete regular supervision and training.

Question 7

Are your sessions confidential?

Accepted Answer

We will always keep your sessions confidential unless we have a concern about safeguarding.

We frequently contact other professionals involved with yours or your child’s care and education, however we will always ask for your permission before we do so. We will not share reports, videos or audio recordings without your consent. Please read our Privacy Policy for further information.

Question 8

Can my child have Speech Therapy or Occupational Therapy sessions alongside their NHS provision?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our clients are known to the NHS, either actively having therapy or on a waiting list. Some families choose to have private therapy during the times when they are not having NHS therapy, and some families choose to have both running concurrently. This is your choice to make.

Having private therapy does not impact on your rights to receive NHS treatment. NHS and private therapists are mandated to work together in harmony. Here at Hope Therapies we have close relationships with our colleagues in Coventry, Birmingham, Solihull and Warwickshire. We keep in close email contact to share targets and outcomes, all with your permission of course.

Question 9

How can I book a session?

Accepted Answer

You can book online here. First, choose the type of appointment you are interested in. For most people getting started this is usually a free 15 minute telephone consultation or an initial assessment. Then, choose a date and time that works for you.

If you have any questions at all, please contact us.

Question 10

At what age can my child start Speech Therapy / Occupational Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Early intervention is incredibly important. Many NHS services will not accept referrals until a child is two years old. However, we know that sometimes it’s obvious before then that a child needs additional help. Generally we do not see children under 12-15 months but if you have a question about a child who is under two please do call us for a chat.

Question 11

How does Hope Therapies approach neurodivergence?

Accepted Answer

There are many ways that therapists approach neurodivergence. At Hope Therapies, we work in a neurodiverse affirming way. Neurodiverse affirming therapy means we approach our clients with the following principles:
 
We accept and respect who they are, how they think and feel and how they express themselves.
We don't view neurodivergence as a problem to be fixed, but rather as a personality characteristic that, like all characteristics, has strengths and weaknesses.  
We help them work towards their goals and what they want or need to live well.
We don't teach or seek conformity; instead, we work with them and their parents/carers/educational setting to help them thrive.
