🚨 BREAKING NEWS: ASLTIP Issues Crucial Statement on Independent SLT Reports for EHCPs 🚨

In a critical move to ensure equal access to support, ASLTIP has issued a statement addressing local authorities who may be rejecting independent Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) reports during the Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) process. The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) is supporting ASLTIP with this important statement.

Key points of the statement include:

✅ Equal Professional Standards: Independent SLTs are HCPC-registered and hold the same qualifications as NHS-based SLTs. They are regulated and held to the same professional standards.

📜 Legal Backing: Under the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and the Equalities Act (2010), local authorities are legally required to consider reports from independent SLTs if requested by parents or young people.

⚖️ Equal Access for All: The law mandates that all children must receive equal access to support. Independent SLT reports cannot be dismissed or overlooked by local authorities.

📝 Help Spread the Word! 📝

It’s crucial that parents, educators, and local authorities understand the equal importance of independent SLT reports in the EHCP process.

Share this post to educate others and ensure every child has equal access to the support they deserve!

Absolutely lovely review received this week:

I came across Emily’s profile whilst on the search for a speech therapist for my son. She had a long wait list but all I can say is she was beyond worth the wait. Emily has been incredible with my son from the very beginning and has always been very patient with him and his behaviours. My son has grown to absolutely love Emily over the 15 months they’ve worked together and we are sad to be saying goodbye. It’s been an incredible journey and Emily has made such a big difference, not just for my son but everyone around him. I can hold a conversation with my son and understand every word, 15 months ago this was only something I could dream of. Emily has always worked hard to support my son and has always given such detailed feedback and ways to continue to support his development at home throughout his speech and language journey. If you are looking for a speech therapist, I highly recommend Emily! Thank you again, we will miss your sessions!
