Speech, Language and Sensory Assessments

Benefits of a SALT Assessment

A SALT assessment can help to:

  • Build a clearer understanding of a child’s communication strengths and needs
  • Identify areas of speech, language or communication that may be affecting learning
  • Understand how communication difficulties may affect classroom participation and social interaction
  • Provide practical information to help inform appropriate support and strategies
  • Support discussions between families, schools and other professionals
  • Contribute to a wider understanding of a child’s individual SEND needs
  • Help identify appropriate next steps and whether further professional input may be beneficial

The assessment provides clear, professional information that can help education professionals and families understand a child’s communication profile and consider appropriate strategies, adjustments and support.

Sensory Profile Assessments

Alongside our SALT assessment services, we offer Sensory Profile Assessments to help build a better understanding of how a child responds to and processes sensory information within their everyday environment.

Sensory processing can influence how a child engages with learning, responds to their surroundings, manages everyday activities and participates in social situations.

A Sensory Profile Assessment can help identify patterns in a child’s sensory responses and provide useful information to inform appropriate strategies and environmental considerations.

Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) Assessments

Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) Assessments

Helping children communicate, learn and participate with greater confidence

Speech, language and communication skills play an important role in a child’s ability to understand learning, express themselves, interact with others and participate fully in school and everyday life.

A specialist SALT assessment can provide valuable insight into a child’s individual communication profile, helping schools and families understand both their strengths and areas where they may need additional support.

A SALT assessment can help identify needs relating to:

  • Understanding and using language
  • Vocabulary and communication skills
  • Speech sounds and speech clarity
  • Social communication and interaction
  • Functional communication
  • Communication difficulties affecting learning
  • Communication needs associated with SEND

A Joined-Up Approach

Communication and sensory needs can overlap and influence a child’s ability to engage, learn and participate.

By offering SALT Assessments alongside Sensory Profile Assessments, Trust-Education Group Ltd. can help provide a more comprehensive picture of a child’s individual needs.

Considering these areas together can help education professionals and families explore the wider factors that may be affecting a child’s communication, engagement and access to learning.

The information gathered can contribute to a more informed understanding of the learner and support discussions around appropriate educational strategies, adjustments and further professional input where required.

Understanding the Whole Child

At Trust-Education Group Ltd., we recognise that every child has their own strengths, communication style, sensory preferences and individual way of experiencing the world.

Our assessment services aim to look beyond a single area of need and provide meaningful information that can contribute to a holistic understanding of the child.

By considering speech, language, communication and sensory processing together, we can help schools and families build a clearer picture of the factors that may influence a child’s learning, communication and participation.
