The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP)
The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP) provides information and a contact point for members of the public searching for an Independent Speech and Language Therapist. It also provides members with access to a UK network of SLTs and ongoing professional support.
ASLTIP holds a register of its members and provides a searchable database of speech therapists who are available to members of the public.
Speech and Language Therapists assess communication and swallowing problems and provide treatment to enable people to communicate to the best of their ability. They provide advice and strategies to enable people to achieve a safe swallow. Speech and Language Therapists work closely with the client’s family and may also give advice to education and medical professionals.
Independent Speech and Language Therapists will offer an initial consultation which will usually include an assessment (formal or informal) and a report summarising the findings. The purpose of this consultation is to ascertain the need for speech therapy and to gather information which forms a base-line for therapy.
If therapy is required, the therapist will offer a block of speech and language therapy sessions which are specifically targeted to meet the needs of the individual.
To locate a speech therapist in your region, use the ASLTIP on-line database. ASLTIP is run by a Board of Directors led by the Chair who are elected by the membership. This executive is supported by consultants who complete or advise on specific projects. The executive is re-elected every two years.
