Clinical
I have experience in the assessment, providing therapy and setting support plans for children with a range of Speech and Language difficulties. I work with children and their parents/carers and staff who support them. I work alongside the Multidisciplinary team to provide as holistic support as possible. I both assess and deliver therapy where appropriate for children and young people referred to me.
I have a total of 6 years’ experience within NHS and private services supporting children with a variety of presentations. I particularly enjoy supporting children and young people with Autism and speech disorders.
Supervision / Consultation
I provide support for my colleagues through supervision, observations and review assessments with children they support in my current and previous roles. I have experience aiding Speech and Language Therapy students through their placements. I also regularly liaise with other professionals in different disciplines about the presentation, impact and support for Speech and Language difficulties in the children I am supporting.
Teaching / Training
I have provided conferences at the ASD Helping Hands conference for the past two years. Throughout my clinical work I have delivered many bespoke training packages aimed at supporting the individual child with strategies based on evidence.
