We advise all individuals to undergo an initial assessment with us regardless of any other assessments. We will certainly take all recent assessments into consideration and will not repeat the same tests if they were done recently. However, to get a true understanding of the speech and language difficulty, we need to observe it first hand and based on this, we will devise a programme of intervention. The assessment process is also an important time for therapists to form an initial bond with the individual in order to form a good relationship for therapy. Hence, we would never skip this process.
