Speech Therapy Hertfordshire

Speech Therapy Hertfordshire Independent Speech and Language Therapist in Hertfordshire with more than 15 years experience. Speci Assessment may also need to take place at nursery/school.

Samantha Lewis is a state registered Speech and Language Therapist with over 18 years of experience specializing with children who have delays/disorders in language and speech sounds development. She is a state registered, practising member of:

• The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT)
• The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP)
• The Health Professions Council (HPC)

Samantha has an NHS background as a generalist paediatric therapist who has worked in community clinics and a child development centre as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team. This has established effective liaison and joint team working with local NHS services, health care professionals and education staff to ensure a holistic approach is developed to meet your child’s needs. Samantha believes that developing a child’s communication, speech and language skills is crucial to their emotional, educational and personal development. She offers a quality service that is empathetic and supportive to the child and their family. Samantha moved into independent practice due to starting a family of her own and so recognises the flexibility needed in facilitating any therapy programme functionally into the schedule of daily life. Samantha believes that any person wishing to access her services must also be committed to working in a joint approach for the child. Whereby, she can empower the adult to facilitate communication and/or speech sound changes in the child. However, it is the adult who will need to be the main instructor for the child through fun activities that can be incorporated into your everyday routine. With your permission, Samantha may also need to make contact with NHS colleagues, education staff and/or other professionals in your child’s life. This is an important relationship that will provide a wider understanding of your child’s difficulties and needs. It also facilitates working in harmony to ensure your child’s needs are being met fully. Accurate diagnosis is essential for planning appropriate therapy. Formal assessments are standardised and informal assessments and observations are objective. These findings will be reflected in the report, and recommendations may differ from the expectations of parents and carers.
