Child & Family Consultation

Stephanie works with parents and carers who may need additional support to manage their child’s communication needs and/or associated behaviours.

Stephanie provides a three-session programme to help families implement positive changes in the home environment in order to support the child individually and assist the family as a whole.

Session one: Getting to know your child’s needs (60-minutes)

Stephanie will meet with you and your child for an initial session to get to know your family. Each child with communication difficulties has their own unique profile, so it is important to understand a little bit more about your child before support strategies can be offered. During the first session, you will be guided to share your child’s strengths, as well as any concerns you may have.

Session two: Tailored support plan (60-minutes)

During the second session, you will be supported to implement practical strategies, including ways to alter the environment if necessary. This may include the use of resources such as visual supports which will be provided for you. You will leave with a plan to put in place and Stephanie will ensure you feel happy and comfortable with the next steps.

Session three: Follow up (60-minutes)

After the second session (usually two or three weeks later) Stephanie will meet with you to discuss the effects of any changes that you have been able to implement. She will support you with amending ideas that may need adjusting, as well as discussing how any positive changes can be maintained long term.

For families seeking further sessions, these can then be booked as additional therapy sessions either on a regular basis or on a review on request basis.

Pricing

The cost of the full three-session programme is €400. This includes all three consultations with Stephanie, a child and family support plan and resources.
