Andrea Phillpotts

Based in St Albans

Speech and Language Therapist

Communication is a fundamental need, it enables people to express themselves, understand others, build strong relationships and engage in the world around you. I love what I do as it supports others to be able to engage with the world around them using their own skills and abilities. My older sister has Down Syndrome and growing up with her has given me an outlook and experience that others may not have. I have a personal interest in managing and supporting communication and working as a speech therapist has given me the professional tools and knowledge to support others further. I love seeing the development of clients and knowing I played a small part.

Special Interests:

  • Down Syndrome 

  • AAC 

  • Special Educational Needs 

 
Everyone should uphold others’ right to communicate as they interact with people in daily life in order to enhance equality, justice and human dignity.
