Member since: 05/07/2023

I am a neurodiversity affirming highly specialist speech and language therapist that  specialises in supporting children and young people with complex communication differences/needs.

I am passionate about supporting children who learn language or communicate differently and finding what motivates them to achieve their best outcomes.

I am a Forest School Leader and trained as a teacher. I am passionate about the outdoors as a tool for therapy.  I am experienced in supporting Gestalt Language Processors and am on the approved practitioner registry for Natural Language Acquisition.  I specialise in AAC including sign language, communication boards or books and high-tech apps. I also have experience with adults with intellectual disability and complex communication differences.

I aim to empower important people around the individual to integrate strategies into real life.- whether that be horse riding, trampoline, the playground or water play in the garden.
