Kate Boot (she/her) – Speech and Language Therapist | Sensory Integration Practitioner | Neurodivergent Practitioner | Lecturer | Supervisor | Trainer
About Me:
I’m Kate, a dual-qualified Speech and Language Therapist and Sensory Integration Practitioner, registered with both the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have post-graduate training through the Sensory Integration Education and University of Ulster in Sensory Integration and Processing.
What I do and can offer:
I offer assessment, therapy, co-thinking spaces (1-1 and group), workshops, training and reflective practice and clinical supervision spaces (1-1 and group) that are grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming and anti-oppressive practice framework. As an AuDHD, queer practitioner, I centre lived experience, body autonomy, and relational safety in all areas of my work. My approach honours the ways neurodivergence intersects with other aspects of identity, acknowledging the harm caused by systems of oppression, and working toward change both individually and collectively.
I support:
-Individuals in exploring identity, communication, regulation, sensory wellbeing and self-advocacy;
-Families and couples navigating neurodivergent experiences, relationships, and support needs;
-Workplaces looking to develop affirming, inclusive cultures and reasonable adjustments;
-Educational teams seeking to better understand and support neurodivergent students;
-Health and social care professionals through supervision, consultation, and service design input.
Whether I’m supporting a young person, facilitating a reflective space for other therapists, or advising on systemic change, my work is guided by values of justice, care, and curiosity—not compliance.
Example ways of working:
1) I offer a standardised sensory profile assessment using the Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile (a reliable and respected measure which is accepted amongst schools and to inform workplace reasonable adjustment or Access to Work processes), or an informal sensory processing and wellbeing overview, to help both adults and children (usually 10yo+) to understand themselves better.
2) I offer post-diagnosis and self-discovery support for autistic adults and/or parents and carers of autistic children. This support is just as valuable if you’re exploring the possibility of being autistic—or if you’re thinking about this for your child—but haven’t had (or don’t want) a formal assessment.
3) I offer workshops and course related to communication and sensory wellbeing utilising more psychoeducation models of delivery.
4) I facilitate 1-1 and group clinical supervision and reflective supervision spaces for other therapists, for example, developing our practice beyond neurodiversity-lite, embracing anti-oppressive practice principles such as intersectionality and decolonising practice.
Sessions are guided by what feels most important and helpful to you. We can meet in whatever way suits your communication needs—whether that’s video call, phone, email, or text. There’s no expectation to have your camera on, and you’re always welcome to move, stim, pause, or take space as you need.
Our conversations can be gently structured or wide-ranging—there’s no pressure to ‘get it right.’ I bring my experience as a neurodivergent (autistic and ADHD) speech and language therapist, my professional training in sensory integration, and my deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming and anti-oppressive practice. Together, we’ll create space for curiosity, care, and connection as you begin to make sense of what your neurotype means for you or your child.
I work in person, across Devon and online. However, can travel beyond Devon, where needed and agreed.
