I have 26 years experience working with Preschool, Primary, Secondary and College students.

I work as Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist Independently and for the NHS with a complex needs caseload. I work with children and young people with severe neurodisabilities and severe communication difficulties.

I have worked with and for Special Schools, Trauma Informed Specialist Provision (SEMH and ASC) and Mainstream. I work with speaking and non-speaking clients. I have experience working with alternative augmentative communication systems ranging from paper-based, battery and dynamic screen. I enjoy using intensive interaction, structured play and a child-centred approach to develop play, language and communication skills.
