Hello, my name is Caryn.
I studied at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2008. I gained valuable experience working in an adult hospital before spending 14 years at a school for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), where I developed and nurtured my passion for supporting children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).
Throughout my career, I have worked closely with members of the multidisciplinary team, including teachers, parents, Occupational Therapists, remedial therapists, psychologists and social workers. This experience has strengthened my clinical skills and reinforced the importance of an interdisciplinary approach. I am passionate about providing child-centred therapy that considers the needs of the child, their family and the professionals supporting them.
I am particularly passionate about helping children overcome the barriers they may experience so that they can develop the skills and confidence to become happy, healthy and contributing members of society. I have a special interest in Developmental Language Disorder and making therapy accessible and meaningful for families and teachers through training, sharing resources and maintaining open communication.
The Words First value that resonates most with me is child-centred practice, because every decision I make is focused on supporting the child and helping them along their individual journey.
If you asked my best friend to describe me, I think they would say I’m loyal and honest.
