Meet the Weekdays Team

The Weekdays Team is a group of talented Speech and Language and Occupational Therapists who, like the days of the week, each bring something special to the table. From the steady and grounded vibe of a Monday to the bright, enthusiastic energy of a Friday, this team is full of passion, expertise, and an unrelenting drive to help their students and clients thrive.

Looking back over the past year, it’s clear that their impact—both individually and as a team—has been remarkable. Let’s take a closer look at the sizzling successes of the Weekdays team. Every day with them truly deserves a celebration!

Individual Highlights and Team Achievements

Claire

Claire is a woman of many talents. This year, she used her artistic flair to create beautiful pins that support Assistance Dog training programmes, inspired by her sister’s aid dog, Solei. On top of that, she’s registered to run The Big Half Marathon in September to raise money for Action for Stammering Children. Combining art and advocacy—what an inspiration!

Emily K

Emily’s published research in neuro-cognitive sport psychology, which focuses on attention, anticipation, and perception, is a testament to her impressive dedication and expertise.

Frankie

Frankie’s commitment to her students is clear. She completed the rigorous four-day ADOS training, which equips her to better assess and support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her dedication to providing tailored interventions for her students is inspiring.

Tayla

Tayla completed her PGCert in Sensory Integration this year—and with distinction! Her hard work and determination to continually improve her skills are truly commendable.

Gabi

This year, Gabi celebrated a major personal achievement by completing the Chester Half Marathon near Manchester. What an incredible accomplishment!

Heena

Heena’s sizzling success this year came in the form of glowing feedback from a SENCo, who said:

“Heena is absolutely fantastic—her expertise and professionalism are invaluable. She goes above and beyond every day. Heena’s reports, strategies, and advice for teachers are exceptional.”

This heartfelt feedback reflects the outstanding impact Heena has on her students, teachers, and the wider school community.

Niamh has been instrumental in setting up a new SEN base at one of her schools. Her work has not only deepened her understanding of specialist provisions but also helped her students make remarkable progress.
