Biography

Fleur Griffiths shares her time between working as an educational psychologist in North Tyneside and as a senior lecturer in Early Childhood Studies at the University of Sunderland, School of Education. Her initial degree was in English Literature (London University, 1961—64) and her first teaching post involved her in team teaching of topics, using story, art, dance and drama. She quickly focused on children with special needs. She developed a specialist interest in language acquisition and disorder, which she brought to her work as an EP. She has practised in the North East since qualifying in 1979 from Queen’s University of Belfast and has had particular responsibility for language units and parent involvement in literacy schemes. She is currently part of a multi-professional team, working in a specialist nursery for children with communication difficulties and also runs a weekly support group session for parents.
