EHCP/EHCP Review Contribution

Report-alone package is only provided to children/young people who are currently working with the SLT, or who completed a package of therapy with the SLT within the last 1 month, AND for whom all information and assessment findings necessary are available to enable a valid SLT report and recommendations for EHCP be provided.  The report will be completed in a format consistent with that which is adopted for EHCPs by the local authority.

This package is provided to:

• Children/young people who have not worked with me before or for over 1 month

• Children/young people who are currently receiving therapy from me, or completed a therapy package within the last 1 month, but with whom further assessments need to be conducted to obtain adequate information, to enable a full SLT report and recommendations for EHCP be provided.

This involves:

1. Information gathering from you and, with your permission, from school/nursery.

2. Working with your child and conducting informal assessments or observations.  This is to obtain a picture of your child's functional language and communication ability, strengths and needs.  

3. Conducting formal assessments with your child as necessary and appropriate. This involves using standardised tests to obtain a quantitative measure of specific aspects of your child's speech and language skills, to enable a more in-depth profile of your child's strengths and needs.

4. In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct an extra school/nursery observation in order to provide a fuller picture of you child's speech-language and communication needs.  An extra £200.00 will be charged.  Should this be indicated, the SLT will discuss and agree with you before proceeding with arranging the school/nursery observation. 

5. Feedback to you on the assessment findings and their implication to therapy and longer-term needs

6. A detailed SLT report to contribute towards an EHC Plan, with specific recommendations for support & provision.   The report will be completed in a format consistent with that which is adopted for EHCPs by the local authority.

The assessment may be conducted over more than 1 sessions.
