"For over a year now we have been getting school consultations each term for our child with Susan Crawford. Susan is amazing, after the consultation Susan provides us with a programme that is uniquely individual to my child’s goals, support needs and potential. The programme is something that both myself and my child’s school teacher work on until we meet with Susan again. We are very lucky to have found Susan, she understands that we need a different approach than the typical speech and language sessions, and supports my child in developing his language and comprehension in a way that is appropriate for him. My child is neurodiverse and learns differently, Susan 100% gets this and understands the importance of supporting the person in an individual way to suit them. Through Susan’s recommendation’s my child’s school introduced a new way of approaching a goal for my child, which if it had been done the typical way would possibly have been traumatising for my child. Now my child has conquered this goal and the school now too have a new approach that can be used for future children that may present with similar support needs. The progress my child has made since starting to work with Susan has been amazing, after each programme we are either ticking achievements off of our list or adding to them and developing my child’s language and comprehension ability further.
Susan is a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to work with. We truly would be lost without her. "

"My son has attended Susan since he was three years old. He is Autistic and currently non-verbal. Susan is a very warm, kind and welcoming professional. My son had an instant connection to Susan and trusted her immediately. In a short period of time, Susan has encouraged and brought out so many of his capabilities, of which were unknown to us until his therapy sessions. We've discovered our son can count and arrange the alphabet in order. He can now spell and he's just turned four years old. I would highly recommend Susan as a speech therapist. She's a true professional and has an amazing personality which just blends with us as a family."

"We were recommended Susan by a specialist in a similar field, the current backlog in this country is incredibly long so to have gotten a chance to work with Susan was absolutely fantastic. Susan is a dream to deal with, friendly, diligent, understanding, courteous, and also extremely thorough. She has a fantastic connection with our son who has ASD after only a handful of sessions. She has an organic feel for speech and language that is priceless and we are so thankful to have found someone who can not only relate to our son but also can deal with him 1-1 and constantly make improvements. The bond our son has with Susan is amazing and he doesn’t take to many people so we are extremely thankful."
