Overview
Debbie has had a long career working with children and adolescents as a
Speech and Language Pathologist. Her job has taken her around the world
where she has had extensive experiences with supporting a wide range of
people with speech, language and communication needs. In Scotland, Debbie
had a lead role in an Autism Diagnostic Team in the North of Glasgow.
Debbie has always enjoyed working closely with children and their families to
help them find the best ways to enhance language and communication, as
these skills are the building blocks to later social and educational success and
literacy acquisition. Debbie is skilled at looking at the needs, motivations and
interests for each client to find the way forward for each family.
There is no one approach that fits all and Debbie assesses and plans
intervention that best supports your child or young person.
