Allen Speech & Language

• What they offer / teach

  ASL offers speech and language therapy assessments and therapy for children and adults, delivered online via Zoom/Teams, at their London clinic in Marylebone, or in schools across the UK. Services include formal and informal assessments with written reports and recommendations, 1:1 and small-group therapy, whole-class support, screening, annual review attendance, parent consultation, and training such as ELKLAN, Talk Boost and Language for Learning. They also provide a complete Autism assessment using the ADOS-2, delivered by a multi-disciplinary team.

• Ages served

  The page states services are provided for children and for adults, and that school-based therapy is provided to pupils, but no specific minimum or maximum ages are given.

• Approach

  ASL uses a flexible mix of formal (standardised and norm-referenced) and informal assessments to build an accurate picture of a child's needs, then plans effective, accessible and fun therapy tailored to the individual. Autism assessment uses the 'gold standard' ADOS-2 with a multi-disciplinary team, in line with NICE best practice guidance. All therapists are HCPC registered, RCSLT members, DBS checked, safeguarding trained and receive regular clinical supervision and CPD.

• Admissions

  Assessments and therapy sessions can be booked through the online booking system, and prospective clients are invited to contact ASL for further information about the Autism assessment. Schools can commission provision via a school fee structure with an allocated therapist onsite 8:30-4:30/5.

• Cost

  The page says ASL aims to provide cost-effective services and that online therapy saves money, and describes a school fee structure with no hidden costs where unworked hours are not charged and the daily rate includes resources, clinical supervision and CPD. Specific prices are not given; readers are asked to contact ASL for prices for the Autism assessment.
