an inspired start

Inspire to Speak Ltd is an independent speech, language and communication therapy service based in Hastings, East Sussex.

Therapy is child-centred, informed by both formal and informal assessment. Interventions are designed to inspire, enable and motivate children and families, addressing speech, language and communication needs.  A wide range of communication needs can be supported.

It was so amazing to see * responding so well and growing in confidence during his session. It was like he went on a little journey from beginning to end. He even carried on with his vocalisations after you left which was lovely.
Also you are the first person to mention dyspraxia and when I looked into it so much more of * makes sense now! It was like a light bulb moment!

The service is sensitive and responsive to the financial circumstances of clients.

Clients in receipt of benefits can access assessment and support at significantly reduced rates.

Therapy and assessments take place in clients’ homes or the therapy caravan where the child’s parent/s observe. The caravan can be moved to a convenient location if appropriate. Assessments, advice and therapy are provided face to face or remotely. Therapy is currently provided within +/- 50 mile radius. Remote sessions can be provided across the UK or internationally. 

A wide range of interventions are used to support children in making progress and in developing their speech, language and communication skills. Consultations and therapy can also be delivered in French.
