Hi!
I’m Chris Wade and I’m a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist based in Caerphilly, South Wales, but covering the whole of the UK. I live at home with my wife Nia; four small children and our Cockerpoo Dixie. Myself and my team specialise in providing assessments for Educational Health Care Plan appeals.
Services
As a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist and experienced Expert Witness I specialise in thorough assessments of children whose parents are appealing Local Authority SEN / EHCP decisions with regards to Speech and Language Therapy and school placements.
Multidisciplinary Autism and
ADHD Assessments
Alongside speech and language therapy, our team provides private Autism and ADHD assessments for children and adults across South Wales. Assessments are face-to-face, follow NICE guidelines and are carried out by a multidisciplinary team, with support provided after diagnosis as standard. We offer Autism, ADHD and combined autism and ADHD assessments.
SEN Appeal
Assessments
I am experienced in delivering bespoke, engaging, training on a range of subjects within Speech & Language Therapy and have done so to schools and universities across the UK and the Middle East. I can offer speech and language therapy training to schools in Cardiff; Penarth; Newport and surrounding areas.
Online
Speech Therapy
For the past decade I have provided Speech and Language Therapy to children, and support to their parents, via online platforms such as Skype. Whilst the vast majority of online Speech Therapy I have done is with families that live overseas I am more than happy to work with children and adolescents from the UK too!
Child Development Videos
In order to identify atypical (disordered or delayed) Speech, Language and Communication skills we must first know what typical development looks like.
