Simran Adams
Based in Northampton
Speech and Language Therapist
My journey into Speech and Language Therapy began with my non-speaking niece. When she was diagnosed as Autistic, my family and I knew very little about Neurodiversity. I immersed myself into researching and finding creative ways to support her communication, which facilitated a passion within me. I feel honoured to be able to turn my personal journey into a profession, by empowering other family members to navigate their similar experiences.
What I love about Speech and Language therapy is the privilege to work closely with children and adults, in making a meaningful impact on their everyday lives. In particular, the profession allows me to embed my personal values of delivering neuro-affirming, holistic and person-centered care. Alongside my speech, language and communication interests, I am also keen to further my dysphagia knowledge in supporting individuals with their safe eating, drinking and swallowing.
My favourite word is ‘Whimsical’: being playful, imaginative and having behaviour driven by fun rather than strict logic. It reminds me to stay curious, have fun in life and spread positivity!
