Assessment - Therapy - Bespoke Training
About Me
I have had a wonderful career of nearly 25 years working in the NHS. I qualified in 1995 and worked with children and adults with learning disabilities, for the final 16 years as Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist. This has given me experience of working with some amazing and unique individuals with a range of speech, language, communication and swallowing needs. I am experienced in team working with people with learning disabilities, their families, staff and a wide range of professionals and organisations. We work together to set goals and find creative solutions.
I am passionate about improving communication as I have seen the massive impact this has on everyday life. I have extensive experience of a range of assessments and approaches which can help everyday communication for a wide range of people.
