Melanie Yates

I am a Speech and Language Therapist, originally from South Africa. I completed my training at the University of Reading, United Kingdom. I have worked in paediatrics for 5 years with a wide range of difficulties and disorders such as Autism, social pragmatic difficulties, Down’s syndrome, attention difficulties, language delays and disorders, articulation and phonological delay/disorders, hearing impairment, auditory processing disorders, dyspraxia and stammering.

I am extremely passionate about the work I do and am fully committed to each and every child and family with whom I work. I encourage family involvement throughout the therapy process to ensure a holistic approach is provided. I strongly believe in providing intervention that is ethical, individualized and child-centred.
