Kate Freeman is a speech and language therapist (SLT) with more than 20 years experience working with children. SLTs support children and adults with disorders in speech, language, communication and swallowing.
Ms Freeman specialises in early years speech and language development and has two roles: she is a lead advisor for UK communications charity I CAN and also an independent SLT.
She says, 'I CAN supports children's communication development from birth to 19. We work with people supporting children's needs, such as health visitors, early years practitioners, family support workers, special educational needs co-ordinators, teachers or youth justice practitioners.
'I deliver and write training courses and materials for I CAN. I don't deliver direct therapy for I CAN, but I do as an independent therapist.
