Proudly part of Cardiff Metropolitan University
Katherine Pritchard, BA, PGDip (SLT), PGCAP
Senior Research Associate, Bristol NHS Foundation Trust
I completed a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, graduating in 2002. I then worked as a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant for 2 years, going on to qualify as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2006 from City University. I worked for the NHS until 2014 as a Paediatric SLT, working across community clinics, mainstream and special schools. In 2014 I joined The University of Reading where I continue to work as a lecturer in Speech and Language Therapy. I continue to work clinically at Reading in the C-STAR clinic. I specialise in working with children with Speech Sound Disorder and their families.
In 2022 I started my PhD at the University of Reading, I am due to complete my PhD this year. The motivation for my PhD was to contribute to the development of evidence-based practice that is acceptable and relevant to everyday clinical practice. My doctoral research investigated how SLTs and parents work together to best support children with Speech Sound Disorder within direct therapy sessions and at home during home practice.
