I am a speech and language therapist who has worked in the voluntary sector and NHS across a range of settings. I have specialist skills in the engagement, assessment and management of children and young people with profound and complex disabilities, particularly relating to sensory impairment and associated conditions, including deafblindness, autism, cerebral palsy and rare diseases. I am passionate about developing evidence-based practices focusing on parent-child interaction and early intervention. I am an experienced project manager and conference speaker at national and international conferences, presenting research projects associated with my area of knowledge, skill and expertise.
