Services for Families

Who I can support:

As a therapist, I am best matched to helping children from the early years up to 8 years (year 3 school age) who present with:

• Speech sound difficulties. This may include diagnoses of phonological delay/disorder, articulation disorder, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (previously known Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia) or Inconsistent Phonological Disorder. I may also be able to support a child with speech difficulties related to cleft palate.

• Understanding and/or spoken language difficulties. This includes children with a diagnosis of language difficulties/delay or Developmental Language Disorder as well as children who are experiencing language difficulties associated with another diagnosis.

• Social communication differences and Autism. This may include children who are Gestalt Language Processors

Services Include:

Assessment and therapy at my room in Hebden Bridge. I can also travel to the family home or pre-school/school depending on location and my availability. Outdoor therapy is also sometimes an option.

I can travel to Calderdale including Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Todmorden, Sowerby Bridge, Elland and Halifax as well as Airedale including Keighley, Cullingworth, Oxenhope and Haworth.

I also run Parent Workshops including training on supporting Speech Sounds and the Hanen More Than Words programme. Please contact me for further information.
