Meet Your Podcast Guests

Judy Southey graduated as a Speech and Language Pathologist from the University of Cape Town, South Africa in 2000. I got my first job at the Rainbow Center, a special needs school in Singapore and decided to travel. I worked there or just under 2 years, during which time I received a variety of trainings, but of most personal impact, training in the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). My next destination was London, where I spent my time working in a sub-separate classroom for students with Autism. I also worked for Pyramid UK as a PECS consultant. I moved to MA in 2008 for my husband's work. Since living in the USA, I have worked at The New England Center for Children (2008-2018) and the public school setting. I am passionate about giving non-verbal or minimally verbal children a voice suing a variety of AAC modalities, my personal favorite being PECS and Speech generating devices.
