Speech and Language Therapy for Children
in Norfolk

Building your child's confidence and abilities
in speech, language & communication

About Kate Odgen - BSc (Hons) MRCSLT HCPC 

I qualified as a speech and language therapist in 2001 with a BSc (Hons) in psychology and speech pathology. I have worked for the NHS for 15 years and independently for the last 3 years. During this time I have helped children with a diverse range of communication needs and specialised in working with children with Specific Language Impairment, Complex Special Educational Needs and preschool stammering. I have worked within a broad range of Paediatric settings including Community Clinics, Children’s Centres, Language Units, Mainstream and Special Schools and Specialist Provisions for Autism Spectrum Disorders. For two years I worked as part of the ‘TalkAbout’ team, providing training and support for people working with young children with Speech, language and communication needs. The project received a national award in recognition of its innovative approach.


When I set up Kate Ogden Speech & Language Therapy, my objective was to provide an innovative, flexible speech and language therapy service to educational settings and families as quickly and easily as possible; without waiting lists, red tape and arduous form filling. 


I enjoy devising engaging and interactive therapy sessions which capture children’s interests and naturally inspire communication. Children make the best progress when they’re engaged and having fun!
