Whether addressing difficulties with speech-sounds, motor praxis, language development, literacy skills, or the use of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC), Hayley’s goal is to make all therapy participants and their support network feel valued and understood.
Hayley works to increase her clients’ skills in communicating, understanding, and engaging in the community and the overall quality of life for the person with a disability.
Hayley has formalised training in:
- Sounds Write
- Gestalt Language Acquisition
- HANEN – It takes two to talk
