Multidisciplinary support that works for your family

We understand that what happens in a therapy session is just one part of the picture, which is why we focus on providing support to suit your child’s individual needs.

Our multidisciplinary team of experienced Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists collaborates with you to provide the support and resources best suited to you and your child. We work children & young adults across a range of ages: 2 to 18 years.

Personalised therapy and practical support

Play-based therapy session encouraging children’s unique strengths

We offer both play-based and formal assessments that focus on understanding your child’s unique abilities and identifying areas for further support.

We focus on creating a connection with your child so they feel comfortable being themselves and naturally share their abilities.

Following the assessment will we provide you with feedback and information to guide your next steps.

Autism Assessments (Identifications) at BeMe Therapy

At BeMe Therapy, we offer comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming autism assessments led by a collaborative team of professionals, including a psychologist, speech and language therapist (SLT), and occupational therapist (OT). Our approach is grounded in respect, empathy, and a deep understanding of the many ways children communicate, connect, and experience the world.

A Whole-Child, Collaborative Approach

Rather than focusing solely on checklists or deficits, we work to understand your child as a whole person. Our team brings together expertise from psychology, communication, and sensory-motor development to form a complete picture of your child’s strengths, support needs, and unique profile.

What the Assessment Includes:

Direct Observations
We spend time getting to know your child through naturalistic and play-based interactions. We observe how they communicate, engage, play, move, and regulate—always in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
Parent Conversations
You are the expert on your child. We take time to listen and understand your insights, questions, and concerns. Your voice is central to the process.
Review of Reports and History
We review previous reports, developmental history, and input from educators or other professionals to ensure a well-rounded and informed assessment.
Collaborative Team Input
Our SLT, OT, and psychologist each contribute their professional insights and come together to reflect, discuss findings, and consider your child’s needs across multiple domains.

After the Assessment

You’ll receive a clear, respectful, and easy-to-understand report with practical recommendations tailored to your child. We’ll meet with you to talk through the findings, answer your questions, and support you in the next steps—whether that involves applying for services, sharing with your child’s school, or simply understanding your child more deeply.

“BeMe Therapy is a really special place. It is a completely neuro-affirming space. A place where, as a Mam of an autistic child, I feel such a sense of calm and peace knowing my child is truly accepted and celebrated for who he is, no matter what his needs are on any given day we are there. Julie is a phenomenal Speech and Language Therapist and her passion for her work always shines through in her sessions with my son. BeMe Therapy is a space where connection is prioritised, competence is presumed and children’s sensory needs are so supported. It is the kind of setting you walk in to and realise this is how Speech and Language Therapy should be and can be if the expert knowledge is there along with a true passion + commitment to support and nurture each child as their individual unique needs require. So grateful to have found BeMe Therapy“

Therapy Sessions

Ongoing 1:1 therapy sessions are available with our Speech & Language or Occupational Support therapists, depending on your child’s needs.

During these sessions, our therapists support your child in working toward their goals and building more meaningful connections in their own way.

We make sure that as a parent or carer, you have everything you need to continue building on this confidence outside of our therapy space.

Paired and group therapy sessions are also available, as needed.

Our aim is to create a supportive and affirming environment for your child, encouraging their communication skills and celebrating their unique voice through evidence-based research and resources.

How does it work?

1.

Fill in our contact form or email us directly at admin@bemetherapy.ie

2.

Complete the intake form that will be shared with you to share any concerns or goals you have for your child so we can be ready and prepared for our first session.

3.

Attend your initial assessment sessions.

The first session will be with you, the parent or caregiver, and the second will be with your child.

During the first session, we will focus on gathering detailed background information, discussing your child’s strengths and challenges, and understanding your priorities for support. This helps us build a clear picture of your child’s developmental history and current needs.

During the second session, the therapist will focus on building a trusting relationship with your child and completing the assessment in a way that feels comfortable and supportive.

For younger children, this will usually take place through play-based activities, allowing the therapist to observe communication, interaction, and skills in a natural, engaging way.
For older children, a more structured approach may be used, incorporating standardised assessment tools where appropriate.

This two-step process ensures that we gather both family insights and direct observations of your child, creating a comprehensive and individualised understanding of their needs.

4.

Have a discussion with your therapist about their observations and recommendations for further therapy, support and resources if needed.
