About Polly

I am a highly experienced Speech & Language Therapist(SLT/SaLT) with an undergraduate degree from Exeter University and a Post Graduate Diploma from University of Greenwich & Canterbury Christchurch.  In my diverse career I have spent time both as team lead and clinical lead for the local NHS team.  I have clinical specialisms in early functional communication, language development, speech sound disorders (including Childhood apraxia of speech-CAS), social communication, Neuro-developmental Diagnostics.  Alongside assessment & direct therapy with a broad & neurodiverse range of children (0-19), I have worked as part of the local NHS neuro-diagnostic team of Community Paediatricians & Clinical Psychologists delivering ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) assessments & advice to families going through the diagnostic process. 

It still feels an incredible privilege every single day to be able to help parents & children connect & communicate, help children say their own name, see them make friends & have the confidence to speak in class – all things we take for granted but all things a child with Speech & Language needs can struggle to do.
