I’m an experienced trainer and public speaker in topics relevant to my lived experience, clinical specialisms and interests.  Having delivered training to education, care, therapy professionals and parent carers for over 10 years, I am confident in producing materials and delivering engaging training and workshops.

 

I also lecture at Universities across the UK on topics including:

  • sensory processing and neurodiversity-affirming practice,

  • ableism within the Speech and Language Therapy profession,

  • intersectionality-affirming Speech and Language Therapy,

  • honouring and respecting neurodivergent communication preferences within specialist education,

  • supporting neurodivergent people in the workplace.

Upcoming Training & Events

October 2024

I'll be speaking at The Gestalt Language Processors (GLP) conference 2024.  Along with my colleague, May Lam, I'll be speaking on Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice Through an Intersectional Lens.

November 2024

Towards the start of the month, I'll be lecturing the first year SLT apprenticeship students at the University of Birmingham and speaking at the South West Autism Clinical Excellence Network on the intersections of being queer and neurodivergent in the Speech and Language Therapy profession.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Wow, what an incredible experience. I have never found a training course more informative and with so many tangible actions to take away into my own practice.

 

I cannot wait to feedback to my team and put everything I have learned into practice to become a neuro affirming SLT practitioner".

 

Nancy C, SLT  

"Thank you for such an informative and thought-provoking presentation.  Lots of reflections about creating safe cultures/spaces; having brave conversations; supervisory relationships; self awareness and growth; working through discomfort....I will keep reading, learning, reflecting and changing".
