As Seen In

Working with Magic Words has been easy and impactful. Our therapist is highly skilled... and always willing to support, guide and advise as needed. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always flexibility to respond to the needs of the school at a given time. I wouldn’t change them as a provider and look forward to continuing to build our relationship.

Recommended at 20 students per day per week, it also covers parent/teacher liaison, staff training, and year-round referrals (subject to capacity). Service is face-to-face on scheduled days; extra time may incur charges.

  • Our Silver package provides initial assessments, one-page profiles, and therapist-designed programmes for staff to deliver. At least one SaLT day per half-term supports reviews and target updates. Referrals are accepted year-round, with training for staff and parents included. Clinical responsibility applies only during assessment and handover; schools manage delivery. Services are pre-scheduled on agreed SaLT days.

  • Our Bronze package offers staff and parent training, virtual consultations, SLCN advice, and access to an online hub. No named child work or clinical duty of care is included. A minimum of 20 hours is purchased, used flexibly across the year. Standard and specialist assessments are deducted from purchased hours.

 Frequently Asked Questions

 
  • Our therapists can assess 2 pupils per day on average. Particularly complex cases do require more time and some straight-forward cases might require less time.

  • Our Speech Therapists will typically do a classroom / playground / learning observation, consult with the pupil’s main teacher, speak to parents /carers, carry out formal and / or informal assessment and speak to any other professionals involved.

  • We must have signed parental / carer consent before beginning work with any pupil under the age of 18.

  • Yes we can. Some EHCPs specify that the intervention must be carried out by a qualified Speech and Language Therapist and in these cases we will ensure that our SaLTs take these cases on.

  • Our Speech and Language Therapists can support with the writing of EHCP applications and reviews.
