About
East Devon Speech Therapy
My name is Lizzie Reid. I moved to Devon with my young family in 2019 after spending many years working as a Senior Speech and Language therapist in London. This is when I set up East Devon Speech Therapy formerly known as River Dart Speech Therapy.
The practice is based on a ethos that therapy is engaging, fun and centred around the child's interests. I also believe in the importance of working closely with care givers and alongside other professionals to ensure everyone is working together to support the child to flourish. To achieve this a range of innovative therapy strategies are used to support you and your child.
Clinic sessions can be booked at my Sidmouth Clinic or visits to your home, school or nursery can be arranged.
