Speech Therapy Services

• What they offer / teach

  MaiSpeech Therapy is an independent speech therapy service in Nottingham offering assessment, information and therapy packages, including dysphasia treatment, dysarthria and dyspraxia therapy, voice projection therapy, speech advice for misarticulation or reduced confidence, and dysfluency therapy (rate modification, breathing exercises, block modification). It also supports eating, drinking and swallowing (dysphagia) difficulties with strategies such as food and fluid texture changes and therapy exercises, and explores technology that may assist therapy.

• Ages served

  Services are offered primarily to adults or children over the age of 13; elsewhere the site describes itself as an independent adult speech therapy service. No upper age limit is stated.

• Approach

  The service emphasises flexibility and working with the client to achieve their goals, tailoring an individual package after assessment, with main areas of expertise in voice therapy, rate modification and language/speech problems following stroke or other neurological conditions such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. The therapist is committed to working alongside NHS colleagues, and client reviews describe a patient, creative, down-to-earth approach.

• Admissions

  A free telephone consultation can be arranged, followed by an initial assessment session typically lasting around 60 minutes, with therapy sessions of 30-60 minutes. Appointments are offered in a clinic setting in Beeston, Stapleford or Nottinghamshire, or as home visits within a 15 mile radius of junction 25 of the M1; they cannot attend NHS hospital sites without Hospital Trust permission. Enquiries can be made by email, and urgent needs will be seen as soon as possible.

• Cost

  The initial assessment has a set fee, while therapy costs vary depending on session length and distance travelled to the client's home. Packages are priced by the quarter hour, and a price list is available on request.
