Alice Thornton
Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
Alice joined Psychology Associates in 2022. She has been qualified for over 30 years and is passionate about enabling everyone to understand how best to enhance language and communication development in children and young people. She loves delivering training which is practical and relating theory to everyday practice. She has extensive experience with children who have suffered early trauma, as well as those who have been placed for fostering or adoption. She has worked in a specialist nursery placement for children with Developmental Language Disorder and in Sure Start, so getting in early with young children is a priority for her.
Much of her work is supporting families and education settings to identify any language difficulties and develop ways to build up skills so that each child and young person can be confident in processing information and communicating who they really are.
