Speech and Language Therapy

At TradeWinds we are incredibly lucky to have a qualified speech and language therapist on our staff team. Catie Barnes trained in the UK and is a member of the Kenyan Association for Speech and Language Therapists. Catie specialises in speech, language and communication development, particularly in children.

At TradeWinds, we offer speech therapy consultations for assessment and therapy. As well as private therapy sessions during the school day, Catie also runs a monthly group therapy clinic. Appointments for this free service must be agreed in advance.

Examples of communication difficulties may include:

delayed or no talking
speech sound errors
difficulty expressing clearly
stuttering/stammering
social communication difficulties e.g. play and interaction (or other diagnosed conditions such as autism)
poor attention
challenges with communicating due to additional needs
(for example: cleft lip and palate, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome)

This is not an exhaustive list; if you have noticed something else and wish to seek advice, please contact TradeWinds to arrange a consultation. Catie offers speech therapy consultations for assessment and therapy not only to members of the school but the wider community.
