If you're an adult or a carer of an adult with significant communication difficulties, then you may have experienced the frustration of getting your message across. You can speak to Bev straightaway when you book a demo at a mutually convenient time online and we can discuss all your requirements then
Will Online input really help my child/adult?
Online input is effective for children and adults with speech and communication needs because it provides access to specialized services from the comfort of their homes. It also allows for greater flexibility in scheduling and enables therapists to use interactive technologies to engage and motivate clients.
What age group do you work with?
Although Beverly has worked for over 30 years, with children as young as 3, she now concentrates her efforts on children who are over 8 years old and especially those who are preparing to enter secondary education. She is passionate about enabling adults to communicate more effectively at home and in the workplace.
