Bio – Amanda Duncan

I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist from the University of Central England in 2006. Prior to that I had worked as a training consultant in the insurance industry.

Since Qualifying I have worked both for the NHS and privately with a range of client needs and age groups.

Currently I work with children from pre school to primary age who have difficulties with speech sounds, verbal dyspraxia, language difficulties or stammering. I have completed post graduate training with the Nuffield Dyspraxia Centre, The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering, and have received training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy as well as Adult Child Interaction therapy for both early language difficulties and stammering. I have also completed a PTLLS course in adult learning.

As well as working directly with children, my passion is passing on skills and knowledge to the adults in their lives. I work closely with parents to support their children. I also offer speech, language and communication training to Early Years settings and Reception staff and can organise bespoke packages for settings.

I offer assessment and therapy for children in their home, an education setting, or by tele-therapy.

Educational training can be carried out on inset days or during twilight sessions.
