Mel McNair Speech and Language Therapist
Hi, I'm Mel - I love working with children and young people.
It's my pleasure to get to know each child or young person and tap into their passions and interests while supporting their communication skills. I endeavour to share ideas and strategies clearly with parents and carers, so you feel confident in supporting your young one's communication skills in every day life.
Having worked in the NHS in various Speech and Language Therapy roles, I have considerable experience in supporting children and young people who have a wide range of communication needs. Currently, I hold an NHS position supporting pre-school and school aged children in mainstream settings.
I am based in Poole, Dorset and offer sessions locally or online. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your communication journey.
Does your child have difficulty with:
- Using spoken words
- Getting their message across clearly
- Finding the words they want
- Forming sentences
- Understanding what others say
- Interacting with a variety of people
- Communicating in different contexts
We can help with a wide range of communication challenges your child may be experiencing.
