Chatty Sprouts Speech and Language Therapy offers bespoke assessment and therapy according to the needs of each child.

Assessments are carried out within my home-based studio in Marden and therapy can be delivered in the studio, within the child’s education setting or in the child’s own home.

How do I start my child’s journey?

Free Telephone Consultation

A person contacting the Speech and Language Therapist in Marden to ask for a free 15 minute telephone consultation from anywhere in Kent such as Staplehurst, Headcorn, Maidstone, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Folkestone, Canterbury.

I will have an initial 15 minute free consultation over the phone with you.

We will talk about your child’s strengths and needs and I will give you general recommendations for next steps.

Assessment Report

I can write a report (if you need one) for an additional cost following the initial assessment.

Direct Therapy

A woman and an early years child sit and carry out fun, mutlisensory and motivating therapy activities during a Speech and Language Therapy Session using a bespoke therapy programme and individualised targets that are holistic and child-centred.

Once a child has been seen for an initial assessment, I can see them for Therapy sessions.

I normally see children for 45 minute sessions. This time includes direct therapy with the child and discussion time with the Parents/Carers.

Therapy Programme

A woman and an early years child sit and carry out fun, mutlisensory and motivating therapy activities during a Speech and Language Therapy Session using a bespoke therapy programme and individualised targets that are holistic and child-centred.

Following an initial assessment, it may be recommended that your child does not require direct therapy.

Instead, I can write a programme of therapy for an additional cost, to be carried out at home or at school.

Purchase of the Programme would include:

  • Dedicated time from the Speech and Language Therapist to write a programme and prepare resources that are individualised to the child

  • A demo session with me to show supporting adults how to carry out activities

  • Opportunities during the demo session to answer any questions

  • Review session at the end of the programme to assess progress
