Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist

I have worked as a Speech and Language therapist since 1999 and I have many years of experience working with preschool, school aged and college students.

In addition to my work for Hegarty Therapy I also work as a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist for the NHS with a complex needs caseload. I work with children with severe neurodisabilities and severe communication difficulties.

I have experience working with alternative augmentative communication systems ranging from paper-based, battery and dynamic screen. I have worked with and for many education settings including Special Schools, Trauma Informed Specialist Provision for students with SEMH and ASC and within mainstream. I enjoy using intensive interaction and structured play to develop play, language and early communication skills.

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and I am a Certified Member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT)
