About Claire

Independent Speech and Language Therapist

Speech therapy in Peterborough

My name is Claire Chorlton and I currently work with Amy one day a week (Friday), alongside my Specialist Speech and Language therapy job in the NHS.

I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 1996 from Leeds Metropolitan University with a BSc (Hons) in Clinical Language Sciences and worked for the NHS, specialising in Autism, from then until 2010 when I left the NHS to work as part of the multi-disciplinary team in an independent school for children with complex needs and/or a diagnosis of Autism. I worked there for 8 years which gave me the opportunity to get to know the children really well and to really develop my therapy skills. I then went back to working in the NHS and have recently specialised in working with pre-school and younger school aged children with complex needs, social communication differences and autism.

I have continued my training throughout my career and , amongst other things, have attended PECS training and follow up sessions, Intensive interaction, Advanced Practitioner training for Attention Autism and the Curiosity programme with Gina Davies, TEACCH and SCERTS training and Social Thinking training.

I am available to work in the Peterborough area.

I look forward to working with you.
