Approx costs of OT/SLT in London

[BackAche21]

I have to submit a personal budget including estimates for private OT and SLT. Does anyone know roughly how much the hourly rates are in London? Not for assessment but for treatment sessions. Thank you.

OT would be around £75-100 for ‘normal’ OT. And £125-£150 for SIOT specialist. SALT around £70-90.

But it depends on specifics e.g. do you want them to travel to you or visit a school/AP, the therapists experience/qualifications, can book a block of sessions…

They have to do an assessment which costs hundreds before they start therapy. We have private OT reports from a clinic that we were not happy with and no other clinic will start therapy even though our report is only a couple of months old. I've now invested in indoor and outdoor trampolines, climbing frames, a balance bike a gymboree membership and my son has developed a lot. He gets SALT in his sen school

If OP is as the stage of submitting a PB proposal they presumably have already had an assessment. If any further assessments are necessary they can also be funded via the PB, but OP will need to know the rough hourly rate for therapy itself for the PB, hence the thread.

You can get OT and sensory equipment funded via the EHCP.
