"I wholeheartedly recommend Helen as an independent SLT having employed her for the initial assessment and ongoing therapeutic needs of my son who has a severe language disorder. Her ability to communicate and assist parents through the process of accepting the diagnosis made a big difference and she has educated us as parents to model , reinforce and underpin her work. Helen is always punctual and ensures that she has followed through on her delivery including reporting and attendance to school meetings. I believe her to be a great find in this area of expertise -having been recommended to me!"
