Kirsty Hays10 October 2024 We are so grateful for the incredible support our daughter received from Anna Norburn. Annas kindness and patience made our daughter feel comfortable and eager to learn. The sessions were not only successful but engaging and fun, tailored perfectly to meet our daughters needs. We saw significant progress in her speech, and it was heartwarming to witness her newfound confidence. As we wrap our therapy, our daughter is already expressing how much she will miss Anna. Thank you Anna for making such a positive impact on our daughters life. Megan Cornwell27 September 2024 Lovely team of professionals. Marissa sees our daughter fortnightly and her intuition and sense of fun have meant both me and my daughter have benefitted from our time together. Thank you! Hoi Chu Francis Wong25 September 2024 Excellent! The therapist is very helpful and supportive. Rebecca Godsafe18 September 2024 Such a brilliant service who have provided support for many pupils I work with. Caring, kind and compassionate therapists who all have the best interests of each child at the heart of what they do! Would always recommend to others seeking Speech and Language support for their child/ren. Ian Little5 September 2024 My daughter experienced a speech impediment that we had attempted to address several times with various providers, educators, and private services, but without success. Fortunately, Bethany was able to assist our 10-year-old in improving her speech and boosting her confidence. The lessons were well-structured and engaging, and we highly recommend her services. Thank you very much! Sarah Fowles2 September 2024 Can’t recommend the Orchid Practice highly enough, they are fantastic. My son works with Bethany and his speech has progressed in leaps and bounds. He adores his sessions with Bethany, she makes the time enjoyable and play based whilst teaching him at the same time. I would definitely recommend the Orchid Practice Alison McWhinnie28 May 2024 We’ve had a great experience working with The Orchid Practice. We needed updated assessments and a tribunal report as we prepared to appeal sections B, F and I of my son’s EHCP. Amy worked closely with the EP and OT to fully understand his profile. Thinking holistically about our son has helped us to understand more about his needs and what provision would be most suited. Having professionals alongside enabled us to feel supported and prepared as we moved towards the tribunal date. Thankfully the local authority conceded before we got to tribunal. My son got his school. The EHCP still needs updating and the amazing report written for the tribunal will be used in the upcoming review. We hope to continue working with the team in the future. We would highly recommend The Orchid Practice. Tim and Alison Gemma Coppel6 March 2024 Amazing!!! Lovely people to work with who have a passion to help children with their speech and share the joy of their progress. Jorge Martinez4 February 2024 Our son has been working with Marissa for over two years now. She has helped him to further develop his communication skills. Marissa has provided us with additional insight, allowing us to work with him as a team alongside his teachers. Additionally, Marissa ensures there is open and continuous communication, which is like gold dust for us parents! Emma Woodward18 January 2024 Amy has been working with my son for the last 2 and half years, she has been amazing with him and he really enjoys his time with her and the games they play together, he has come so far in his progress. I would recommend The orchid practice to anyone looking a speech therapist!
