Welcome to Wordsteps, my name is Anna Biavati-Smith and I am a private Specialist Speech and Language Therapist based in Edinburgh.

I am specialized in Selective Mutism and I love to share my knowledge with parents that need help. You can find more info about what I can offer here.

I have a lovely therapy room where you can come and feel relaxed with your child, and my aim is to play and make your child feel at home because this will help your child to find it easier to transfer skills they were learning in therapy

 I aim to empower not only the children that I support but also their parents and involved professionals.
