A child who is a GLP learns language in chunks at a time; rather than as single words, phrases and sentences as the typically developing population do.
Often, GLPs use “scripts” to communicate, which can take the form of language they have heard from the people around them, or in popular media such as television.
If your child is struggling to develop their language skills, our thorough assessment will determine if they are a GLP and would benefit from a specialist therapy approach. Assessments are carried out in our Rayleigh clinic, and include an additional home or school visit for us to gain a comprehensive understanding of how your child communicates.
Our initial assessment is followed up with special clinical analysis, support and planning. As a parent, you will be given a clearly-written handbook for further reference.
