(Now operating as Welcome Words Ltd)  I specialise in older children and adults with developmental  Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), with a focus on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and social communication challenges (with or without a diagnosis of Autism). I have experience of supporting clients with complex needs and multiple diagnoses, and as the parent of a child with DLD (now a young adult) I have encountered this condition from both a professional and personal perspective.   At present I am not taking on new clients outside of my school contract, as I am exploring new initiatives with a view to offering additional services in the future.  I welcome queries about these, which are as follows:

Identification and support of adults with DLD (who may not have been diagnosed as children).

Facilitating independent SLTs to offer student placements.

Professional supervision.
