Speech and Language Jersey
Charlotte Bisson - MSc Speech and Language Therapy from Queen Margaret University Edinburgh
I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2021 so have up to date knowledge of best practice. I have experience working with children from toddlers to teenagers with a range of speech, language and communication difficulties.
I provide consultations, assessment and therapy interventions for children and young people to address a range of speech and language difficulties to ensure that any differences are identified and their communication needs are met. This can be completed in home or education settings depending on the child's needs.
​
I am registered with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy (RC0040109) as well as HCPC (SL038937).
