LIZ REEVES

I am Liz Reeves a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist specialising in early years speech, language and communication and stammering support (for all ages.) Since graduating from Reading University in 2007 I have worked for the NHS with hundreds of children and their families to develop their communication skills.  I set up Budding Communicators to allow me to be able to offer 'more' to the families I work with: more time, more choice and more progress.

​

I specialise in play based speech and language therapy, therapy targets are carefully integrated into play so your child learns whilst having fun.  I love making children laugh and never go far without a pot of bubbles. 

 

I am a mum of two young children and offer appointments during school hours, term time only.  Online support for stammering can be provided outside of school hours where appropriate.

​

I have extensive experience supporting children with the following:

• Speech Delay and Disorder

• Language Delay and Disorder

• Autistic Spectrum Condition

• Stammering

• Dyspraxia

• Parent-child interaction and early play development

• Non-talking and late talking pre-schoolers

• Phonological awareness difficulties 

 

I have had additional training to enable me to offer the following therapy:

Hanen's: 'It takes two to talk'  for parents of children with language delay.

'More than words' for parents of children with social communication difficulties.
