Speech & Articulation Disorders
I work with a range of Speech Disorders including:
Dysarthria - difficulty with slurred speech, volume control and prosody
Dyspraxia of Speech - difficulty with producing the sounds in the right order due to motor planning deficits

Language and Communication Disorders
I work with a range of acquired communication disorders, including:
Aphasia (difficulty understanding, reading, writing or saying the right words)
Cognitive Communication Disorder (difficulty using our thinking skills to understand nuance, plan what we want to say, use body language/tone and much more)
I work with clients to unpick how these disorders may be impacting their understanding, speaking, reading, writing and social communication. This is turn leads us to explore what to target to improve communication at home, work and in leisure situations.
