  I am the clinical lead for Speech and Language therapy at Eden Academy Trust. In this capacity I have written and delivered a number of training packages for staff and for parents. I have advised on training requirements across the different school settings e.g. identifying areas of need including AAC and Signalong. This is in keeping with the school development plans. I have also been responsible for creating a pathway for ensuring AAC systems are embedded at home and school. I have also established a clinical excellence network (CEN) for Speech and Language Therapists who work in Special Schools. Show less
