Communicate Your Way | About Us | Speech and Langugae Therapy l Oldham

My name is Ellie Pettigrew, Founder of Communicate Your Way Speech and Language Therapy.

I am a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, having qualified from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2015 with a BSc (Hons) in Speech Pathology and Therapy.

I have worked in both special educational and mainstream settings, as well as in community services, and completed neurodevelopmental assessments as a member of the multidisciplinary team. I have experience completing assessments and providing intervention for children and young adults with a range of communication differences.

I use a child-led and play-based approach to my therapeutic style. I am passionate about neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed practice.

With lived experience of Autism, ADHD and neurodivergent trauma, my practice and communication style are guided by my lived experience.

I enjoy empowering people through communication and assistive technology, including Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC), and sharing my knowledge of neurodivergence.

I endeavour to provide high-quality, evidence-based, and creative interventions to support individuals in developing their communication styles and autonomy.
