Leanne Tierney.
I provide support for autistic children, those with a range of speech and language difficulties, and support with AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication). I am child led, trained in Gestalt Language Processing and strive to be Neurodiversity Affirming in my approaches. I also work with schools to identify and support children with speech, language and communication challenges.
