About me
I graduated from De Montfort University, Leicester in 1997 with a BSc Honours degree in Human Communication; Speech and Language Therapy.
Since then, I have worked in both the NHS and in Education in a variety of settings such as clinics, schools and language units.
I now enjoy working independently and set up talking2gether in 2013 offering a flexible and easily accessible service to parents and schools.
Who I help
I work with children in the mid Sussex area. I accept referrals from parents, schools and other professionals. I offer help to children experiencing difficulty with:
-
Attention and listening
-
Articulation - problems forming the mouth shapes and movements for speech
-
Phonological delay/disorder - difficulty hearing the difference between speech sounds or replacing some sounds with others making their speech unclear
-
Receptive and expressive language delay/disorder - difficulty understanding and following instructions or answering questions, remembering words and their meanings or sounding muddled when speaking in sentences
-
Social Communication difficulties - difficulty joining in with play, learning the rules of conversation eg. taking turns, making eye contact, misunderstanding feelings or facial expressions, jokes and sarcasm
