Grainne Yeatman
Founder & Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
“I have been a Speech and Language Therapist for over twenty years. I specialise in supporting children and young people with complex needs including; Autism, PDA, ADHD, Dyspraxia, DLD, Selective Mutism, Attachment Disorder and associated difficulties such as sensory needs and anxiety. I have a particular interest in neurodiversity in girls.
I love the problem solving aspects of my job and I’m adept at crisis management. Once we view behaviour as a form of communication we can take a solution focussed approach.
Key to my role is providing training, both formal and informal, as a means of upskilling others to support the young people in their family or in their educational setting. I aim to make training fun, practical and informative. More recently I have been successful in developing my Teletherapy skills, providing training and therapy online as a result of the COVID lockdown.
I am a qualified Expert Witness and I can provide reports and evidence for Educational Tribunals.”
Kirsty Davies
Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
“I’ve been qualified for 25 years and have worked for the NHS and Local Education Authorities in nurseries, children’s centres, mainstream and special schools at primary and secondary level, in audiology, and at a specialist assessment provision. I’ve also worked as a specialist teaching assistant.
Having managed a project to promote the importance of early communication, I have a special interest in early intervention and arming parents, carers, and early years practitioners with the knowledge they need to best support children’s communication development from day one. I’m also particularly interested in alternative and augmentative communication.
Having recently joined DMC full time, I’m loving the opportunity to really get to know our clients, their carers, and families, and the chance to provide the specific support and solutions they need.”
