Hi, I'm Hannah
I work directly with organisations who need Speech and Language Therapy input. Referrals may arise from services who are struggling to access NHS services due to the complexities of working with an individuals Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), Mental Health and behaviours that are considered challenging. I am also happy to receive referrals for legal matters, where a Speech and Language Therapist is required to understand an individual’s speech, language and communication needs as a part of the proceedings.
