I also take an interest in development literacy development with AAC users.I have worked within several settings supporting clients to achieve their long term goals set by the Speech and Language Therapist and myself, these settings include, clients' homes, schools, care settings. In the settings mentioned above, I also provide high-quality bespoke training packages to the individuals, school support teams, support workers and parents to ensure that the client is getting the right support to achieve the best outcomes for them.
