Need to be dysphagia trained and able to work with young people with learning disabilities.
The Speech and Language Therapy department sits within a wider therapies team which includes occupational therapy, physiotherapy and psychology. Working collaboratively with colleagues across the campus and different disciplines is essential. The therapies team includes SLT assistants and an AAC technician.
Students have a wide range of needs: epilepsy, complex developmental, acquired and neurodegenerative needs and / or autistic spectrum disorders, so youll enjoy a variety of challenges and rewards in assessing (formally and informally) their communication needs, providing differential diagnosis and designing appropriate interventions that facilitate their progress educationally and in everyday life.
Emphasis is on developing functional, transferable skills, enabling our students to fully participate in their own lives, with individual or group therapy as required.
