 Andrea McGuinness
Development Officer, ACE Centre-North
Since qualification as a Speech and Language Therapist in
1993, Andrea has held a number of posts. All have included working with a wide
range of individuals to aid in the development of their communication skills.
The main focus has been working with children and adults
with physical and/or communication impairments in a range of settings,
including mainstream schools, special schools, further education establishments
and the home environment. Through this work, she has gained experience of a
wide range of both low and high tech augmentative communication systems. Andrea
is experienced in working within schools and linking communication aims into
pupils' IEPs and curriculum work. Working within an interdisciplinary team has
always been an important aspect of developing each individual's communication
skills. Developing and delivering training packages to teachers, therapists,
support workers and parents has also formed a large part of the work.
Andrea is now a member of the assessment and training team
at the ACE Centre-North.
