What is Speech and Language Therapy?

Speech and language therapists work to assess, diagnose and treat people with communication difficulties. Treatment may be offered both directly to the child or client and indirectly by supporting carers. We liase with allied professionals in order to offer the most effective service to the client.

Therapy

Annie works with a range of developmental and acquired communication problems. She has specific experience in the fields of elderly medicine, neurological conditions, and with school aged children with complex speech and language difficulties. Her work also covers confidence building and presentation skills (see link to Speech and Language Problems). Please do not hesitate to contact Annie if what you require does not appear above.

Assessments and therapy

Clients will normally be seen in clinic but additional home or school visits can be arranged. Assessments can usually be provided at short notice with a minimal wait. My main catchment areas are within a 25 mile radius of Taunton, although referrals from other areas are also welcome.

Training

Annie is able to offer training or group work for clients, parents /carers or allied professionals. Click HERE for more information.
