The Muir Practice

• What they offer / teach

  The Muir Practice provides speech and language assessments and therapy for children and adults, occupational therapy, formal autism assessments (described as following the NHS gold-standard ADOS assessment), and multidisciplinary dyslexia assessments. They also offer personalised therapy programmes and reports, ongoing support and check-ins, training and workshops for parents, carers, teachers and other professionals, plus 'Guided Reflections' and free online quizzes on communication, autistic traits and sensory/daily living skills.

• Ages served

  Autism assessments are offered for those aged 3 to 21 (elsewhere described as "from age 3"), and dyslexia assessments for ages 8-16. Speech and language therapy is offered to children and adults of all ages, including work with adults with communication disorders.

• Approach

  The practice describes itself as neuroaffirming and evidence-based, celebrating strengths rather than deficits and focusing on what a person can do. Support is whole-family: initial assessment is undertaken with family and those closely involved, therapy is tailored to individual needs, and practical strategies are provided for use at home and school. The team is multidisciplinary, including speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, neurodevelopmental practitioners, an educational psychologist and therapy assistants; individual therapists mention interests including AAC, Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), feeding therapy, situational mutism and early intervention.

• Admissions

  Getting started involves three simple steps: an initial enquiry by phone or by booking an initial consultation online, an initial assessment carried out with the family, then tailored therapy. The practice emphasises no waiting lists and a free initial consultation for autism assessment, contrasting this with multi-year NHS waits.

• Cost

  The page states that the initial consultation for autism assessment is free, but no other fees or prices are given.
