Experience
I have experience working with pre-school and school aged children across settings including clinic, schools (mainstream and special needs), and in the home. I work with children with a range of needs including language delay/disorder, speech difficulties and mild to severe and profound learning difficulties. I am experienced in supporting children with social communication disorders and Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome and those with eating and drinking difficulties. I have worked across London and the South East, and have also spent 18 months working in a special needs school in Auckland, New Zealand, before setting up my private practice based in Stevenage, North Hertfordshire.
