Approach

Bespoke

  • Goals are based on my client’s specific profile, interests, strengths and needs  (current and future needs).
  • Teaching style and support strategies are based on my client’s strengths.
  • No negative reinforcement. One of the underlying goals that comes with all my speech therapy goals is to help my clients build confidence and resilience through positive experiences.

Varied

I use a broad range of motivating activities, which as far as possible are based on meaningful, real-life experiences to maximise learning. Examples:

  • Sensory / messy play
  • Art & craft
  • Activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Pretend or role play
  • Real-life practice with real-life people
  • Minimal use of worksheets / flashcards unless appropriate
  • Zero unguided screentime

Supportive

Emphasis on educating and coaching caregivers: What’s realistic and doable for your lifestyle?
My goal is always to show you how to use your power to help yourself or your child! You’ll get:

  • Explanations – Why do this and not that?
    Why does my child do or say this?
    Why can’t my child do or say this?
  • Demonstrations on what to do, when to do it, how to do it
  • Hands on practice as far as possible
  • Feedback on how to fine-tune your efforts
