I am running my own company of independent therapists working in education settings (Primary, Secondary, Special and PRU).During this time I have also been working in schools myself, providing early intervention in the foundation stage, specialist intervention for children with ASD, Down syndrome, language impairment and speech difficulties.

I covered a mixture of positions in Mainstream Primary Schools and Early Years. My work in schools included staff training to set up and run language / speech intervention, statutory assessment and reports, joint working with specialist teachers and information sessions for parents. The early years work included running groups, assessment clinics, direct work with parents and children in their homes and universal work such as joint 8 & 27 month health checks with health visitors.
