Independent SLT Fees
The rates for private speech and language therapy depend upon the type of service offered. Therapists will explain their fees to you when you first make contact with them.
Fees for therapy sessions - and particularly for assessments - vary significantly with the type and complexity of each individual case, the level of experience and specialist expertise of the therapist, and the sort of service that is being offered which may be clinic-based or elsewhere (such as at the client's home, school, or nursing home).
The detailed assessments and reports required for medico-legal work and educational tribunals are very specialised and time-consuming. Fees will be correspondingly higher than for less complex work.
Therapists set their own fees and it is strongly recommended that costs are discussed fully before entering any agreement for assessment or therapy.
