I qualified as a Speech Therapist in 1976 and worked in this capacity at a school for children and young adults with learning difficulties in London. I continued working in this role in Zimbabwe for fifteen years again at a similar educational institution. On my return to England I was employed in a further education college as a Learning Support Manager. In 2012 I completed a Level 7 qualification in Assessing and Teaching Children and Adults with Specific Learning Difficulties. I am currently a Self Employed Dyslexia Assessor and Tutor dealing mainly with adults in the workplace along with secondary, further and higher education students. I was invited to join the Ashford Dyslexia Centre in 2013 and have enjoyed working in this role at the Centre and being a member of our professional team.
