Additionally, Regina has significant experience supporting the SLCN of verbal and nonverbal children and adolescents who are autistic. She has worked as a member of multidisciplinary teams collaborating with Occupational Therapists (alongside training parents and SNA’s) to set goals based on individual needs and strengths. Regina has also had the opportunity to run language and social skills groups in nurseries, primary and secondary schools.
Regina previously worked as a volunteer Speech and Language Therapist at the Cape Coast teaching hospital Ghana. She supported the Speech Therapy Department to assess and deliver therapy to individuals with aphasia after having a stroke, dysarthria resulting from cerebral palsy and autistic people with communication differences. Regina currently has a passion for supporting children’s communication needs by better understanding their sensory needs so she can build a strong rapport, support them to feel regulated so they are better able to communicate their wants and express their emotions.
