About the Author
Tracy Broadley Jackson has over 30 years of experience as a speech and language therapist, developing her skills across a variety of clinical settings. She has worked with a range of clients throughout her career, including people with voice and fluency difficulties and those with communication problems arising from acute brain damage and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinsonโs and dementia.
Currently, she has two roles. Firstly, as an independent speech and language therapist, running her own practice, Speakmore. Secondly, she works for the NHS in a mental health hospital as part of a multidisciplinary team across in-patient wards.
Delivering person-centred care is at the heart of her work; knowing a clientโs interests and hobbies is key to helping that person remain motivated and express themselves in a way that allows them to be the unique individual they are. This approach inspired her to produce The Speech and Language Activity Resource Book and share with colleagues the activities that have shaped her individual and group therapy sessions.
