No two children are the same. So why should their therapy sessions be? 🧸🌿
Earlier in my career, working within the NHS, therapy often needed to follow more standardised or “off-the-shelf” therapy plans. There simply wasn’t always the flexibility to create an entirely different session around every individual child.
One of the things I really value about my private practice at Chattercubs is having the freedom to do things differently.
Before a child walks through my clinic door, I can think about that child.
✨ What captures their interest?
✨ How do they like to play?
✨ What are their communication strengths and needs?
✨ What sensory experiences help them feel comfortable and engaged?
✨ What could I put in the room that might invite interaction, connection and communication?
That means one child’s session might involve climbing, bouncing and movement. Another might be drawn to music and rhythm. Another might spend their session exploring animals, books, puzzles or a favourite repetitive game.
The toys may look simple, but there is a lot of thought behind why they are there.
And once the session begins, the child still gets to lead. I can adapt, change direction and follow what captures their attention rather than expecting them to fit into a predetermined therapy plan.
Their potential. Their needs. Their play. Their sensory preferences.
That’s what tailor-made speech and language therapy means to me. 💛
