About me:

Claire Parkes - Currently on leave, apologies for any inconvenience 

BA (hons), PGCE (Primary Teaching), H.Dip (Psychology), MScSLT (Speech and Language Therapy)

Registered Speech and Language Therapist (IASLT)

Registered Teacher (The Teaching Council of Ireland)

I have over 10 years experience working with children in both mainstream and special education settings. I qualified as a speech and language therapist completing an MSc in Speech and Language Therapy (Professional Qualification) at the University of Limerick. Combined with a background in teaching, this puts me in an excellent position to work with children who require extra help with speech and language skills or have reading and writing difficulties.

My Ethos:

I use evidence based practice, referring to the latest research in order to get the best results. I believe that sessions should be enjoyable as well as effective. Building a child’s confidence and self-esteem is also part and parcel of the process of therapy and tuition.
