Lucy Mackie
Speech and Language Therapy
Welcome
Hello! I am a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist working with families and education settings to provide assessment, diagnosis and therapy for children and young people with a variety of speech, language and communication needs in Dorset and Somerset. Please look at the services I provide and get in touch for a free, 20 minute, no obligation phone call to discuss your concerns and whether my services are appropriate for your family or education setting!
Services for Parents and Carers
I provide assessment, diagnosis and therapy for children and young people who have a range of speech, language and communication needs, and their families. I can provide these services within the child's home environment and/or their early years setting/school if appropriate. Therapy can be direct with the child/young person or indirect providing training and advice to their parents or teachers.
​
I love working with all of the child's key people in all of their key environments as this ensures a consistent, optimal communication environment in which they are more likely to learn and succeed.
Services for Nurseries and Schools
I can provide speech and language therapy packages to early years settings and schools to supply an additional service to the already existing NHS service you receive. These packages can include:
Assessment and diagnosis for 0-18 year olds with speech, language and communication needs
Specialist therapy sessions, which can be provided 1:1 or in small groups
Whole class speech and language screening to identify children who need additional support
Whole school or small group training on speech, language and communication needs or a range of interventions
Advice (and implementation of, if appropriate) surrounding how to make your school or nursery a communication friendly environment
