Jenni has found success assessing and running sessions with a cooperative 3.6 year old – right up to more mature clients who are having difficulty chewing or swallowing. Younger children can be easily observed in play and interacting with their parents – which allows advice and support to be given. It has been a particularly useful tool with older primary students who are working on literacy concerns.
