Autism Anglia's Diagnostic Service are excited to be extending their Speech and Language Therapy Assessment service for children of primary/secondary school age and young adults aged 21 or under.

This offer is for those with language/speech sound needs or differences with social communication, who have not had an SLT assessment within the previous 12 months. 

The assessment will be with one of our highly specialist Speech and Language Therapists based in Colchester, and will evaluate a range of Speech, Language and Communication areas and a highly detailed formal report will be provided. 

The fee for the assessment and report has been reduced to £295. 

To enquire about an assessment, please contact: [email protected] with the subject line 'SLT Assessment.'

• Prior to assessment we will ask you to complete a detailed case history form and to share any relevant existing reports and documents for review. 
  
  
• We may need to communicate with other professionals such as teachers or therapists. 
  
  
• If assessment is indicated and you decide to proceed, the appointment will take approximately 90 minutes. 
  
  
• Assessment may include formal and informal assessment methods, depending on age and abilities. Our skilled Speech and Language Therapists strive to tailor the assessment process to the individual whilst ensuring that it is a calm, but also engaging, experience. 
  
  
• Following the assessment, we will write a detailed report that may include specific recommendations for educational settings, as well as advice for home and signposting to other useful sources of help or information. 

Please note that this is an assessment only service with no capacity to offer therapeutic intervention to support identified Speech and Language Therapy needs if this is identified.

However, there is an additional option to arrange a follow up meeting with the educational setting, to take place online via MS Teams, to discuss the findings and recommendations. This is charged for separately.
