Speech language therapists work with
people who have... it sounds obvious but
speech and language difficulties.
Most people when you say, "oh I'm a speech and
language therapist" they say, "oh like The
King's Speech", or "oh if you're stammering and
my usual answer is, "yeah that's
a small aspect of it".
We work with babies that have been born with cleft lips
and cleft palates.
Children with different syndromes, a lot with
autistic children all the way up to
adults who've had head injuries, strokes.
A huge range of people.
What inspired me to get into speech and language
therapy? I did linguistics as my undergraduate degree.
I found out that there was a career in which you could
work with people to help them to get their speech back.
I've always wanted a job where I can work with people all
day every day and it just,
yeah just kind of made sense.
During my training there's been loads and loads of
outstanding moments. One particular that sticks in
mind: I was working a special-needs school and there
was a boy there who had global developmental delay
and severe epilepsy.
He was very, kind of, absorbed in his own world,
played by himself.
When I was assessing him I tried this thing
called intensive interaction where you mimic their
actions and mimic their vocalisations.
So he was clapping.
He quite enjoyed the sensory aspect of just clapping
like this, and so I just went up to him and I clapped
along with him and he kind of made an eye contact and
I got a small smile.
After I kept mimicking his actions
eventually he'd come and show me the toy
he was playing with and I just thought that's such a
it's such a huge step for a child
who's just met me to decide that actually I'm worth
communicating with.
So yeah, that was a really special moment.
My favourite aspect of training as a speech language
therapist is that I get to meet so many
different people.
I've been in a special school, at a nursery,
a primary school. I'm soon to be working in a
care home.
Just getting to know each person individually and taking
a really, like, person-centered approach to my therapy is
something I really enjoy.
In five years time I'd quite like to work with children
with special needs. So I really like special needs schools
because I think the support that you can
give to a child there: It's a privilege to be able to
help a child in the school setting and help their teachers
to understand their types of communication
and ways that they can be supported.
