Reports
Manchester Speech and Language Therapy provide specialist assessments and reports. Manchester SLT provide all types of assessments and reports for adults and children. The types of reports provided include:
Assessment and recommendation reports
Manchester SLT can provide a comprehensive assessment and recommendation report following your initial assessment. The report will outline the findings of the assessment; summarize the outcome measures or assessment tools used during the assessment and make recommendations for further treatment. This service is often utilised by individuals who would like a report for their own records, who are using our services as a second opinion or are requesting funding for treatment from a third party or case manager / solicitor. Other individuals may travel a great distance for an assessment and wish to take a report back to their speech and language therapist in their own town or country.
Update Reports
Update reports are provided for individuals when their circumstances change. They are commonly provided when children start a new school or adults move to new housing or change jobs. Update reports provide an insight into the current treatment, goals and communication methods to allow medical professionals / support workers / teachers / employers to work towards common goals.
