How to pay less
- Online sessions can cost less than home visits and save travel; you can ask the therapist whether they suit your needs.
- Practising the exercises from therapy at home between sessions can help progress and may mean fewer sessions are needed.
- Booking at the clinic rather than a home visit avoids paying for the therapist's travel time.
- Sharing any previous assessment report can mean a shorter assessment, instead of the therapist starting from scratch.
- If you have health insurance, you can check whether your policy covers speech and language therapy before booking.
Before you book
- Any previous assessments or reports related to the client's speech or language difficulties.
- Information about the client's medical history or relevant diagnoses.
- A comfortable space for therapy sessions, free from distractions.
- Your availability for regular speech and language therapy sessions, as steady practice between sessions helps progress.
- Check that the speech and language therapist is qualified and registered, and ask where sessions take place so they stay private.
