Hello, my name is Charne Daniels.
I am an HCPC-registered, MRSCLT-certified Speech and Language Therapist. I graduated from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 2020 and joined Words First in 2022, after completing my community service year in South Africa.
I enjoy working in primary and special/complex needs school settings. My passion for these environments stems from my mother, who was a special needs teacher, and from growing up in a family of educators. I have a deep love for working with young children who are on the autism spectrum or have feeding and swallowing disorders.
I am passionate about helping young children develop their communication and interaction skills within their home and wider community. The Words First value that resonates most with me is respect. Respect is a key personal value—it helps build strong relationships with students and motivates them to participate and work hard towards their goals.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports (rugby, cricket, and F1), travelling, trying out new restaurants, and spending time at the beach. If you had to call my best friend and ask them to describe me, I think they’d say I’m tenacious, creative, and talkative.
