Choice of Therapist

Getting the right match is the key to effective therapy. Choose the right specialist for your child.

One of my best decisions was to sign up my daughter to Mable therapy. She has a on and off speech impediment triggered by certain big events in her routine. She immediately bonded with Thomas, one of the therapists, and we see such a significant improvement after each session in her speech and confidence. We are immensely grateful for Thomas and his therapy approach with our little one.

For our daughter, the speech and language sessions with Sarah have really been very beneficial, it's helped increase her confidence and also taught her ongoing learning techniques for when she is struggling. It's also helped show us, as parents, how to continue to support our daughter as much as possible. This is a great resource for schools and our children. Would highly recommend. Thank you once again.

Mable Therapy offers a new approach to children's speech and language therapy. Every aspect of our platform is tailored to enhance and motivate young learners and accelerate their progress.

All Mable therapists are qualified to a specialist level, which means they have expertise and experience in working with specific communication disorders, leading to more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment. Each session plan is tailored to the needs of the child and data from each session is tracked and collated, with comprehensive reports written after each session.

Our therapists deliver sessions using interactive activities that engage and challenge. Mable creates a supportive, productive environment for children to develop their speech and language skills, all while keeping parents informed and involved every step of the way.

At Mable, setting clear, achievable goals with your child's therapist is about more than just outlining a therapy plan—it's about building a shared vision of success that keeps you and your child motivated every step of the way. Our collaborative approach ensures each session is meaningful, with tailored goals that encourage full engagement and participation.

We’re committed to transparency, providing detailed therapy reports within 48 hours of each session. These reports clearly outline your child’s targets and progress, empowering you to support therapy goals at home. This ongoing feedback loop allows for continuous adjustment to meet your child’s evolving needs, so you can celebrate every milestone, big or small, together.

Children aged 0 to 3 are in a critical stage of development, where their brains are rapidly absorbing everything around them. During this time, the bond they form with their primary caregivers plays a vital role in shaping their learning and overall development. Parents and guardians are not only their emotional anchor but also key to fostering early educational growth.

To support this, Mable offers a unique early years approach that empowers parents to integrate effective strategies into their child's daily routine. Our therapists work closely with parents and carers, providing tailored sessions that expand their understanding of their child's specific needs. Through simple activities like play, storytelling, or everyday tasks, these techniques become natural learning opportunities.

By actively participating in these sessions, parents not only strengthen their emotional connection with their child but also significantly enhance the child's cognitive abilities. Engaging in these guided activities helps stimulate brain development by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and language acquisition.

As parents incorporate these strategies into everyday interactions, they create an enriched environment that promotes curiosity and intellectual growth. This collaborative approach not only nurtures emotional bonds but also lays a robust foundation for cognitive development, fostering a lifelong love of learning and an eagerness to explore new concepts and ideas.

From ages 4 to 8, Mable offers individualised, interactive sessions with one of our specialist speech and language therapists. The sessions take place on the Mable platform, our innovative, creative space designed to reduce anxiety, make sessions more engaging and accelerate progress.

Parents are encouraged to join each session so they can see first-hand how the therapist works, empowering them to use some of the same techniques and strategies in the child's everyday life. After each session, parents also receive practical advice from the therapist, a comprehensive report and homework tasks for their child.

Mable's aim is to offer families a holistic approach. Supporting the child with their communication difficulties, through targeted interventions, while arming parents and carers with the tools and knowledge needed to reinforce the therapeutic work. By adopting this approach, the child's development is accelerated and the barriers to learning are removed.

From age 9, we encourage the child to take a more active and independent role in their speech therapy sessions. This marks a significant step in their development, enabling them to engage more deeply with the therapy process and take greater responsibility for their progress. At this stage, children can access their sessions without their parents present, although parents can still join if they'd prefer.

While sessions may now be accessed independently, parents and guardians remain fully informed and involved, receiving regular updates, detailed session reports and home activities designed to reinforce therapy goals.

The creative platform remains an integral part of the therapy sessions, with age-appropriate games and activities carefully selected by the therapist to support the therapeutic goals. As the young person gets older, the focus shifts to activities and therapy goals that are functional, which makes them more relatable and helps them to stay engaged and motivated.

Online speech and language therapy: 10 facts you need to know

If you are concerned about your child's communication skills, several signs may indicate that your child may benefit from speech therapy. Here are some of the signs to look out for:

Delayed language development: If your child is not meeting language milestones, such as not speaking any words by the age of 2 or not using two-word phrases by the age of 3, it may indicate that they need speech therapy.
Difficulty with articulation: If your child has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds or if they are difficult to understand, it may indicate a need for speech therapy.
Stuttering or stammering: If your child has difficulty speaking fluently, such as repeating words or sounds or hesitating a lot when speaking, it may indicate a need for speech therapy.
Trouble with social communication: If your child has difficulty with social communication, such as not being able to understand and respond to social cues, or not being able to hold a conversation, it may indicate a need for speech therapy.
Voice problems: If your child has a hoarse or raspy voice, or if their voice sounds too high or too low, it may indicate a need for speech therapy.

If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to consult a speech-language therapist who can evaluate your child's communication skills and recommend any necessary therapy or intervention. Early intervention is often the key to the success of speech therapy, so it's important to seek help as soon as possible if you have any concerns about your child's communication skills.

Our therapists are bound by the professional guidelines set out by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) both of which require therapists to have adequate assessment data before beginning a course of therapy.

If your child has had an assessment with a qualified speech and language therapist within the past 6 months we may be able to continue without a Mable assessment. This is always at the discretion of the therapist as they will need an adequate baseline to measure your child's progress.

It is always useful for the therapist to have access to any previous reports for review and these can be uploaded to your Mable profile.

The assessment session takes place after the initial consultation and the consultation session does not replace an assessment session.

Yes, children at this age learn best from the people they love, which means you! You'll learn straightforward and efficient techniques to implement at home during your child's sessions.

Parent-child interaction is recommended for children under 3 with speech and language needs because it is a critical period in language development. During this time, children learn the basics of communication and language through their experiences and interactions with those around them, particularly their parents. By engaging in conversation, playing, and reading with their child, parents can provide rich language experiences that support the child's speech and language development. This can help build their vocabulary, encourage the use of more complex language, and develop critical listening and speaking skills, all of which can improve their overall communication abilities. Additionally, this type of interaction can foster a strong emotional bond between the parent and child, which can positively impact the child's overall well-being and mental health.

The number of speech therapy sessions a child needs varies depending on their specific needs and goals. Factors such as the severity and type of speech and language disorder, the child's age and stage of development, and their progress in therapy, can all impact the frequency and duration of speech therapy.

It is common for children to receive speech therapy once or twice a week, with each session lasting 20 minutes to an hour. However, the number of sessions can be adjusted based on the child's progress and the therapist's recommendations.

It is important to work closely with the child's speech therapist to determine the right frequency and duration of therapy for your child and to regularly review and adjust the plan as needed.

Yes, online speech therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy, with some potential benefits as well.

Research has shown that online speech therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for a range of communication disorders, including speech sound disorders, language disorders, and stuttering. In fact, some studies have shown that online therapy may be more effective for some individuals, particularly those who are more comfortable communicating through technology, such as children who are accustomed to using tablets or smartphones.

One of the main benefits of online speech therapy is convenience. Online therapy eliminates the need for travel to a clinic or office, making it a more accessible option for families who live in remote areas or who have busy schedules. Additionally, online therapy allows for more flexible scheduling, making it easier for families to fit therapy sessions into their busy lives.

However, it's important to note that the success of online speech therapy depends on several factors, including the quality of the technology and internet connection, the experience and expertise of the therapist, and the ability of the child or adult to engage with the therapy session through a screen. Therefore, it's important to work with a reputable online speech therapy provider like Mable Therapy and ensure that the technology and environment are set up for optimal communication and engagement.
