Contact this therapist

I have 20 years experience working with autistic children and adults, people with complex needs, ADHD, learning disability, and mental health difficulties. I have a post graduate dysphagia qualification.

I offer communication assessments and intervention in a person centred, collaborative and neuro-affirming way. I take a holistic approach and strongly advocate for recognising and responding to communicative behaviour at the child’s level, considering changes we can make to our interaction and environment to support communication differences.

I have bases in Sheffield and Hull and travel across Yorkshire and the Humber, NE Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Notts. I offer virtual consultations if appropriate.

I work as an associate for Sensory FoOTsteps who offer OT services and have a great sensory clinic in Doncaster that can be used for SaLT assessments.

Hull and East Riding based clients please email Communicateincolour@gmail.com

For clinic appointments or school/ehcp contracts please contact Sensory Footsteps on the mobile number.
