Fees

The first step is a home-based assessment session. The fee for total assessment time is £75 per hour. Total assessment time is made up of:
1. A play-based assessment session. This initial face-to-face appointment usually takes an hour.
2. Writing up the results and recommendations afterwards. We sometimes carry out further assessment, depending on complexity and the child’s attention span.

Therapy sessions usually last around 45 minutes, but can vary from 30-60 mins, depending on the child’s attention level. Parents are active partners in the process. We build time in at the end of the session to debrief. Our therapists provide guidance about helpful home practice too.

Happy Talk Speech and Language Therapists spend all day in your school, or as much time as you need. Please see our schools page for more information on how we can help. You are welcome to call Happy Talk on 0117 963 7129 to discuss your requirements

When return travelling time from BS3 3JU is 30 minutes or less, there is no fee.

We calculate travelling time using Google Routeplanner, so it is always the same fixed amount. The fee for travelling time over 30 minutes is £30 per hour. So, for example: if the return travelling time is 48 minutes, there would be a £9 fixed travelling time fee per visit.
