GLYNIS HAINES

I am accredited to deliver the 6-hour Part 1 Shape Coding™ system course for up to 30 participants at any location in England.

I have a number of highly skilled SLT Associates working with me so that between us we are able to deliver a range of therapy approaches for children with a variety of communication difficulties.

Children are supported in their Home, Early Years setting and/or School.

This minimises the amount of teaching time missed and maximises access to teaching staff so that speech and language therapy strategies can be demonstrated to parents and/or teaching staff on site, building both their knowledge and confidence to the support the children between the therapy sessions.

Therapy sessions can also be delivered remotely via FaceTime, WhatsApp or Skype.

Accolades:

 

  • We were and are extremely impressed with the assessment and report. We thought Heather’s assessment of CHILD seemed very accurate and I am sure the report will help us to get her the help she needs.
  • Kirsty, you have been shortlisted in the Claire Campbell Awards for Outstanding Achievement recognising the achievements of deaf children and young people and the people that support them. You were nominated by D and KA for consistently supporting CHILD and his family through so many transitions (school years, bilateral cochlear implant surgery, autism diagnosis to name just a few) and gone above and beyond in accommodating his preferences (trains, anyone?!) tailoring your therapy to ways he responds best because you believe the best of him and want to get the best out of him and carrying out research into new and different ways to help him.
  • Just to say I am so thrilled with the support that CHILD has been receiving from Lexi. He had his review at Nuffield last week and the progress he has made is incredible
  • To Sarah: We can’t thank you enough for all you have done for CHILD over the past two and half years. You haven’t just supported him, but us as a family too. I know he will really miss you when he moved to SCHOOL in September. We will always remember you for helping to give CHILD his voice and the best possible start. 
  • Thank you so much for the well-detailed report, Lynne! We are grateful and impressed with the time and effort you took from the onset- from the phone call discussions to requesting background data, visiting the school, observing, assessing, collating data and writing the detailed report. We hope the report will enable those making the decisions to provide the proper support for him to achieve his potential.
  • We really appreciate all your guidance and advice and apologise for putting you on the spot during the meeting today, Sharon.  We really value your honesty and judgment and ultimately this will help us tremendously as we seek to find the best setting for CHILD. Both my husband and I feel that you have really got to know CHILD and understand his complex needs in a relatively short period and just wanted to say that CHILD is very fortunate to have you supporting him.
