A typical therapy session will last 60 minutes and will involve structured play activities, which are used to develop particular skills in speech, language and/or communication.

Aims are set prior to the session and evaluated at the end of the session.

Parents, carers and staff, (if required) are supported to extend these aims through practise and by developing their own knowledge and awareness of the child or young persons speech and profile language, as well as their own communication skills.

Following the session with the child or young person there will be time for discussion with parents or carers. The time spent with parents or carers will vary according to the amount of time spent working directly with the child or young person, taking in to account factors such as attention span, motivation and co-operation. A home programme can be provided with suggestions for games to play and general advice and strategies.

Therapy sessions are usually carried out in the child's home or Preschool/School setting in a quieter area. Following every session written advice is given, usually via email. This provides suggestions for home practise, including some of the activities that were carried out in the session that day and picture resources, if required.
