Google Review Logo

"Our son was non verbal and is autistic and has just turned 7. After not having much luck with NHS speech and language we made the decision to try private. Abi was recommended and she is absolutely brilliant. We started working with Abi in July 2021 and nearly a year on our son is using an AAC system and has made an amazing amount of progress on his speech. We are impressed daily with the words he speaks. Abi puts together a plan for us to follow and works with us, James and school to help develop James’s speech at a pace that is achievable and realistic. We can not thank Abi and her team enough for helping James to use his words and communicate with everyone more effectively. James is less frustrated the more he communicates".
