Hello, my name is Kaho.
I completed my Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy at University College London in 2020. Since qualifying, I have had the opportunity to work across a range of school settings, including mainstream primary and secondary schools, Additional Resource Provisions (ARPs), an alternative provision and an autism special school.
My clinical areas of interest include working with autistic children and young people, as well as those with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. I particularly enjoy the multidisciplinary nature of my role and have valued working collaboratively with a range of professionals, including school staff, Occupational Therapists, Music Therapists and counsellors.
The Words First value that resonates most with me is child-centred therapy. I truly believe that keeping each child and young person at the heart of every decision we make gives them a voice and creates opportunities for them to develop their confidence and skills. It is incredibly rewarding to observe and be part of their individual journeys.
Outside of work, I enjoy going to exercise classes, reconnecting with friends and family, visiting the theatre and exploring new restaurants and places, often accompanied by a lot of walking!
