The practice offers expert witness services including legally binding assessment reports for EHCPs or tribunals and expert witness testimony. We have legally trained SLTs who provide this service for current and new customers.
Our legally trained therapists can work with existing clients or new clients. The process begins with a preliminary meeting and is followed by information gathering and review of relevant documents. The therapist then completes a thorough assessment and observation. The next stage is preparation of a legally compatible report. The last stage which may have to be taken is court appearance to provide expert witness testimony. However, not all cases will require court appearance.
