Assessment & Therapy Fees
When you book an appointment at ARC you are securing the highest quality in Speech and Language Therapy. Not all clinics make the same investment in quality and training that we do.
We invest in clinical equipment. Unlike some other providers, we work from a fully equipped dedicated clinic where all necessary clinical materials are easily at hand.
All Therapists are members of the Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists.
ARC has been delivering quality Speech and Language Services for over 15 years
ARC is a trainer of choice for Teachers of The Special Education Support Service of the Department of Education and Science

Booking Appointments
Due to the demand for appointments we advise that, following assessment, if you wish to be guaranteed consecutive/weekly appointments:
- You block book a series of appointments.
- If you require further ongoing appointments book a further block at least one month before your block of appointments ends.
- If you decide that you do not require the appointments they can be easily cancelled once 48 hour notice is given, but at least you will have the option of having the appointments available if required.
Payment Procedure
Our Payment Procedure
- A booking deposit of €100.00 is required for assessments. This is fully refundable if the assessment is cancelled within 48 hours.
- Fees are payable in full on the day of attendance.
Cancellation
- Cancellation 2 working days prior to appointment: No charge
- Cancellation 1 working day prior to appointment: 50% of fee due
- Cancellation on the day: 100% of fee due
This is because, without sufficient notice, another client cannot be notified in sufficient time to take the session time which you have booked.
