MEET THE TEAM
Leigh McGowan
Speech and Language Therapist. Director
Hi, I'm Leigh, a Speech and Language Therapist and one of the founders and Directors at Insight Clinic. I have been working as a Speech and Language Therapist for almost 15 years, with around 9 years’ experience as an Autism diagnostician. I recently completed some additional training in Sensory Integration, which I love to bring into my assessment work. Working with neuro-divergent individuals is my passion and my goal is to continue learning from and listening to the neuro-divergent community so as to be able to support as many people as possible in a neuro-affirming and compassionate manner.
