Business overview

Speech and Language Therapy/coaching for 7 -70 year olds who have high functioning ASD/ADHD. Work on social communication, social anxiety and executive function skills

Language Speaks is run by Lesley Foley. After 17 years of experience, she has built a reputation specialising in the ‘Social Thinking’  methodology, treatment and strategies to support:

• Social skills

• social emotional challenges/self-regulation

• perception of self/others

• Being part of a team/group and recognising

expectations

She believes social anxiety, so often seen in individuals with ASD and ADHD, can only successfully be addressed by working on social competencies first, as this is very often the root of anxiety. Other areas she work with include:

• Low self esteem

• Organisation techniques

• Time management

• Prioritisation/Starting tasks/problem solving.

Reviews from clients include:

Great Therapist

5
Our 6 year old son was diagnosed by an NHS Therapist as having Social Communication Difficulties. Lesley was highly recommended by a friend who helped her autistic son. Our son has been seeing Lesley for one hour a week, during which time she has been charming and professional and always gives her full attention to our son. She has formed a real rapport with him and we have felt very comfortavle leaving him in her care for the sessions. Lesley feeds back to us at the end of each sessions and provides things to work on at home. We have seen a real progress over the past four months and his class teacher commenteds on it this week. He is working better in groups, observed by us in his sports activities and play and by his teache in the classroom. We have noticed an improvement with how he communicates with his peers.. Given all of this we would highly recommend Lesley as a Speech and Language Therapist to anyone with a child with similar issues to our son.
