Inspirational Story
Debbie Kindred
What prompted you to study Speech and Language Therapy?
I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I spent time going through every option on the UCAS website to find an course that combined my varied interests and that’s how I found Speech and Language Therapy
What have you learnt since studying to be a therapist?
Communication is so key to everyone and everything we do in life.
It is so important that everyone has a way to communicate and that we have spaces and services that are inclusive of all different types of communication methods.
How have you got to the position you are in now?
I joined NHS Rotherham as a newly qualified therapist in 2009 and I have worked my way up, tried different ways of working, including clinic work, pre-school, stammering and now I work with Special Needs and mainstream and special schools.
