About Early Signs
I am really passionate about helping children to develop the skills they need to communicate and to talk. I work closely with parents and childcare workers, as well as children, as I believe that maintaining good strong relationships, and being consistent are vital keys in seeing positive results from children.
Imagine how you will feel when your child will be able to tell you what they want to play with, or what song they want to sing, or make a sound to let you know they want something.
I work on a 1:1 basis, supporting you in total confidence, creating an action play which will recognise your child's ability level, and will work towards your child reaching the next step. Along the way, I'll give you ideas and activities that you can do and provide you with any necessary visual resources.
You will notice not only a difference in your child, but also in yourself! You will become less stressed, less frustrated, and you will find that you will enjoy playing together more, as you communicate and have a better understanding of each other.
Meet Suzanne
Hi, I'm Suzanne.
I love seeing children getting excited as they discover new skills to get their message heard, and hearing about achievements and first firsts!
My whole career, I have worked and supported children in the early years, and also their parents and families at home. I love, and am passionate about helping little ones grow and develop their skills and confidence. So much so, I have stayed in this career for the past 23 years! I was an Area Special Educational Needs Coordinator for 15 years, supporting families and working with under 5s in a variety of early years settings. I worked alongside many health professionals, including Speech and Language Therapists, who I referred 99% of the children I worked with to!
After 15 years, I realised I was missing out on time with my daughter. I decided to work for myself, and that way I would be able to spend more time with her.
My passion is to help develop and enhance children’s language and communication skills, to be able to express their needs, and get their message across. Having these skills will improve other areas of development such as behaviour, social, listening and understanding.
I have an NNEB Diploma in Child Care and NVQ Level 4 in Child Care, I have also completed Makaton Stages 1-8, and attended PECS training. I am on the DBS system.
Regards, Suzanne
