Founder and Lead Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist

Gráinne Yeatman

I have been a Speech and Language Therapist for over twenty years, with much of that time spent working in a Local Authority.

I founded Develop My Child as I saw a need for continuity of support with a centralised team of specialists through diagnosis and beyond.

My specialisation is supporting children and young people up to the age of 25 years with complex needs. I have a particular interest in neurodiversity in girls.

Key to my role is providing training for other professionals to up-skill others to support the young people in their family or in their educational setting.

I am ADOS and ADI-r trained and provide multidisciplinary autism and ADHD assessments. I am a qualified Expert Witness and I am the co-chair of the Medico-Legal clinical excellence network for Speech & Language Therapists.
