Partnership working
I have teamed up with 'Speak with Lucy' to enhance the service we can provide to schools and parents and to help make therapy more affordable.
Once assessment for a child has been completed, Lucy (who is a level 4 trained speech and language therapy practitioner) can offer weekly therapy sessions, working from a programme I will provide. She has extensive training and experience in working with children with a range of needs and has particular skill working with speech and language skills in the early years and primary education.
I have also teamed up with John from 'Dragonflies Speech and Language Therapy'.
John holds Qualified Teacher Status and has worked with children of all ages for over 20 years. Before COVID, he took part in the launch of the Ready4School scheme which blended speech therapy and music to help boost language skills in reception age children. John has undertaken Elklan training and Nuffield training to keep his skills up to date. John provides the same service as Lucy and this helps us cover a wider geographical area.
Recently, Abby has joined our small team.
Abby runs 'Happy Chatter' speech and language therapy support. She works in a local primary school providing their speech and language support. Abby has a PGCE and is a qualified Primary school teacher. She also has a level 3 qualification in speech and language support. Abby has both speech and language skills with school age children. Abby is based in the Hastings area and will also provide the same service as Lucy and John.
