I work as an expert practitioner for the MND Association’s Community of Practice, and I am a Clinical Adviser for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, in the areas of MND, Progressive Neurological Conditions, AAC and Dysphagia. I have extensive experience with voice and message banking and can assist you with this and legacy work.I provide bespoke training packages on communication, feeding and swallowing. I strongly believe in working holistically and work closely with Neuropsychology, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy colleagues.
