A speech and language therapist starts by giving an initial consultation with parents. This meeting will take approximately 45 minutes ,and we will include a formal written report which will outline the next steps and any advice given.

Based on the assessment, the therapist will design activities aimed at the child’s goals. For younger children, these activities are usually play-based to keep them engaged and interested. Examples include:

- Games that focus on listening skills, vocabulary development, or practicing specific sounds.
- Storytelling or picture-based activities that encourage the child to use words, make sentences, or understand the meaning of new words.
- Articulation practice, where a child might practice specific sounds or word patterns with repetition and feedback.

The therapist may role-play or engage in conversation practice to develop social communication skills, helping the child understand how to take turns, ask questions, or make requests.

Many sessions include parents or caregivers, who will learn strategies and techniques to reinforce learning at home.

Each session typically ends with a recap of what the child has worked on and an outline of what they will focus on in future sessions. The therapist may set "homework" activities to help continue progress between sessions.
