Alison Wainwright Speech and Language Therapy
Helping children and young people with communication needs to achieve their potential.
Welcome to Alison Wainwright Speech and Language Therapy. I am a qualified, independent Speech and Language Therapist working with children and young people in the Nottinghamshire area. I provide private Speech and Language Therapy in schools, nurseries, and private homes: wherever is the best situation for your child.
My Aim
I work to support children and young people with communication needs to achieve their academic, social and personal potential. I help young people who have communication difficulties to still do well at school, aspire to be their best, and take part in society. I also believe that children and young people make better progress when they enjoy what they do, and when everyone around them is fully supported to help them achieve. So I also strive to make therapy fun!
