with Louise Coigley
Speech and Language Therapist
Storyteller
During the last two years, Louise has been invited to run a series
of Lis'n Tell workshops for the Early Years Teaching and Support
Service of East Sussex County Council. These have been attended by
teachers, parents, nurses, speech and language therapists, educational
psychologists and FISS(Family Intensive Support Team) workers. Feedback
has been extremely positive.
In 2006, Louise gave a series of three workshops at the Brighton Sussex Medical School, to the Teachers of Medicine, to medical students and at the GP conference 'Celebrating Primary Care'.
"The session was a knockout! It gave me so much to think about...I'll need days if not years to process it. Some people are working on the surface, but your work has such depth and resonance that it is really important that more people know about it."Dr Norman Alm, University of Dundee
