Empowerment
A 3-month intensive package of support where we will work closely together to ensure you have the information and tools you need to feel confident supporting your child's communication and talking at home.
I will work directly with you, to empower you and grow your confidence in your own skills in supporting your child's communication.
The Empowerment Approach
My Empowerment package of support, will take you from feeling worried, lost, overwhelmed and confused to confident, listened to, supported, informed, and having total clarity of how to support your child.
My online package of support is designed to help you feel:
Confident:
In your own ability to support your child`s communication and talking and come away with practical strategies you can add to the everyday day things you already do.
Listened to:
You will have space to talk through your worries and goals, with a focus on helping you put a plan in place based on your goals (it’s your therapy and support after all!)
Supported:
I’m here to help at each step offering my expertise and ongoing support throughout the 3 months. You will get to practice strategies to support your child under my support and guidance
Informed:
You will have access to my wealth of knowledge and experience as a Speech & Language therapist and early years specialist. You will get appropriate practical advice and support on how to implement strategies, in achievable steps to boost talking and communication.
Clarity:
I want you to have access to the right information and tools as well as the confidence to use them so that you can support your child's communication to help them flourish, thrive, and grow.
Because communication and talking are best supported during the small moments and interactions you share with your child every day, we will focus on making small adjustments by introducing strategies into your daily activities.
I will support you intensely over a 3-month period.
My Empowerment programme is right for you if:
This package of support is best suited to you if you child is aged 0-5 years old and you are worried about your child's talking. This may include any of the following:
-
Your child isn’t talking yet, or they aren't using many words
-
You’re worried about other things such as their communication, interaction, attention and play development.
-
You have a gut feeling something isn’t quite right
-
Maybe they were speaking but suddenly stopped or you’re concerned that they aren't following the “expected” patterns of communication or interaction development”
-
Your child has a diagnosis of autism (or is on the waiting list for assesment) and you want to better understand how to help and support them & you would like support as well.
And you….
-
Don’t know what to do next or you feel you have been sent from pillar to post, don’t know who to speak with, find that you can’t get any consistent help or support meaning you’re exhausted and frazzled and never have the time to implement anything.
-
Feel overwhelmed as there’s so much information out there you don’t know what’s right or helpful and you just feel lost and confused meaning you’re trying different strategies but have no idea if what you’re doing is helping or not as you don’t know what you’re looking for
-
Really want to help your child but you’re not sure how meaning you’re losing confidence in yourself as a parent as you don’t know what to do
-
Have possibly been given information but have no idea how to make it work for you, your child and your family life meaning you feel unsure and overwhelmed.
