I don't have any problems talking after my brain injury - why would I need a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT)?

​

Answer:  There are many reasons why you might benefit from a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) after your brain injury.  SLTs not only help with talking, but they also help with understanding what others say, social interactions in person and over social media and communication in specific contexts e.g. in the workplace.  If you have noticed any changes in the way you communicate since your brain injury do not hesitate to contact us.

The additional benefits of students receiving online speech and language therapy include (but are not limited to):

 

• Parents/teachers able to be involved in sessions and therefore receive all information first-hand

• Parents/teachers able to implement strategies demonstrated and gain immediate feedback from the Speech & Language Therapist re: if they were following recommendations correctly

• Parents/teachers able to bring questions and troubleshoot concerns

• Since parents know their child best, they can give background information direct to the SALT during each session (when perhaps they were not previously able to attend every school based face-to-face session) 

• Some students who are motivated by technology are more engaged during online sessions compared with face-to-face sessions

• Students remain within their familiar environment (home/classroom) rather than visiting a clinic room, ensuring that they are more comfortable and therefore more likely to demonstrate their potential

• Students are not limited to seeing their closest Speech and Language Therapist (e.g. if there is a specialist who works on the other side of the UK who has the right skills to support a specific complex student, geography is no barrier)
