I am experienced with working with children and young people from 2- 25 with a broad range of difficulties including Speech Sound difficulties, Learning Difficulties, Autism, Developmental Language Disorder, Stammering, Selective Mutism, and Hearing Impairment. I have extensive experience working within schools and value working closely with staff and families to ensure that goals are achieved.
