I qualified as an SLT in 1999 and have since worked in the NHS, Charitable, and independent sector to provide specialist clinical support for individuals with a range of complex needs, including LD, Autism, Physical Disability, and acquired cognitive-communication disorders, many living with additional sensory, behavioural, and mental health needs. I have worked across all age-groups, but particularly with young adults in post-16 SEND, and in a range of clinical settings, including educational/vocational, acute, community, domiciliary, and secure forensic services. I am passionate about inter-disciplinary working, and identifying therapeutic interventions which are personalised, functional and meaningful, and recently completed ADOS-2 and ADI-R training. I have also worked as a Clinical Case Manager for LD/Autism as part of the delivery of NHSE’s Transforming Care Programme, and am currently registered as a Clinical Reviewer for C(E)TR’s.
