Interests & Specialisms

Nicki really enjoys working with children and young people who have an autism spectrum disorder. Working with this client group allows her to evaluate the communication environment, advising staff and parents as to how this can be adapted to support a child’s understanding of the routine, expectations of others and interpretation of language.
