A 3-part assessment is completed online or in our clinic to assess and accurately diagnose Autism Spectrum Condition. The three appointments are held with our qualified and experienced clinicians for accurate diagnosis and supportive recommendations.

Our Creative Counsellors and Play Therapists use creative measures and traditional talking therapies to help children explore their feelings. Therapists help children navigate troubling experiences or focus on specific need through within relaxed, confidential sessions.

Our specialist Dyslexia Assessors evaluate a child’s cognitive skills to provide a diagnosis. The assessment considers a range of attainment skills and abilities, informed by background information. If dyslexia is diagnosed, advice and strategies are provided to help overcome barriers to learning. This may involve referral to other specialists.

Educational Psychologists assess children's literacy, numeracy and overall cognitive abilities. The assessment takes specifics of the school into consideration, evaluating how best the setting and staff can work to help the child learn and is designed to benefit and enhance children's access to education.

We offer expert witness representation in tribunal proceedings. Our assessments aid in seeking an Education, Health and Care Plan. Currently we only provide assessments for Speech and Language Therapy.

The Feeding and Swallowing Service offers assessment and intervention for infants and children experiencing difficulty in their feeding development. Using information supplied by parents about preferred foods and typical mealtime habits, alongside observational assessment, we will assess the specific challenges for the child and recommend strategies to aid their development.

Following a feeding assessment, feeding therapy sessions are used to help infants and children overcome a wide array of issues with eating, swallowing and mealtime behaviour. We provide personalised training for parent and caregiver to help families overcome these challenges around food.

Joint assessments take place with both Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists present. Working together, our therapists can identify underlying reasons for challenges in behaviour and communication. The assessment will be used to prepare a comprehensive report and form strategies to meet the child’s needs. This may involve signposting to further professionals.

Joint Therapy Sessions include Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists working together to target areas of need identified in the assessment.

Our Occupational Therapy assessments evaluate a child’s abilities and their needs as well as identifying barriers to attainment. A personalised support and treatment plan is then provided. We work closely with parents to establish goals and create a foundation for future therapeutic intervention. The overall goal is for children to live an enhanced, independent life.

Occupational Therapy sessions are personalised to address each child’s specific needs and goals. Our interventions typically involve therapeutic techniques and play-based activities aimed at improving a child's physical, sensory, cognitive, and emotional functioning.

Our Paediatricians are neuro-developmental experts providing a holistic assessment of a child’s development. The assessment uses information provided by parents alongside standardised tests to identify underlying conditions, provide developmental diagnoses and recommend further interventions where necessary.

Our Speech and Language Therapists use a range of tools to assess all areas of speech, language and communication. We work closely with families to identify a child's communication needs and goals and advise on therapeutic interventions as well as providing families with strategies to support children at home.

Speech and Language Therapy sessions target the development of a child's speech, language and communication needs. Your Therapist will collaborate with you to establish goals, develop a plan of interventions, and review progress.

Therapy Assistant sessions implement intervention plans that are developed by a supervising therapist following a child's speech and language assessment. This is an effective and efficient way to support children and families to meet their communication goals.

At LCP, we recognize the importance of early intervention and consistent care. To support this philosophy within our team, we provide an 'intervention package' framework for children and young people. When you book an intervention package, your child will be scheduled for a therapy slot with a suitable therapist, held on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
