Amy Bignell

My name is Amy, and I am a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist. I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Speech Sciences in 2007 from University College London. I have specialised in working with children and adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and complex communication difficulties. I worked for the NHS for 14 years and was the lead Speech and Language Therapist in working with children and adults requiring alternative and augmentative communication, as well as being part of the senior management team. I have completed post graduate training in a range of different therapeutic techniques.

I have worked as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment team for autism since 2010. I am a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and the Health and Care Professions Council. I feel very privileged that my job means I get to meet such a wonderful variety of different people. I love getting to know each and every one and hearing about their lives. I am very passionate about autism and supporting people and families to get the support they need to help them reach their potential. I enjoy baking and cake decorating, reading, going on walks with my family and dog and eating out at lovely restaurants.
