I have 18years experience working with autistic children and adults, people with complex needs, ADHD, learning disability, and mental health difficulties. I have a post graduate qualification in dysphagia to complete feeding assessments in children and adults.

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

I can travel across Yorkshire and the Humber, NE Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and also offer virtual consultations if appropriate. I work as an associate for Sensory FoOTsteps who offer OT services.
