Hope can be scarce. But in this article I wanted to articulate how we can improve the lives of children in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Spoken language is one area of child development that is most amenable to change and has profound benefits for learning, well-being and behaviour sej.org.uk/feb2024/langua…

Today we're thinking about learning to say new speech sounds. This is a tricky process & takes lots of time & practice - even naturally developing sounds may be used in some words but not all for a while. Some of the steps it takes are shown here #sltfv #ChattyTuesday

Speech & Language Therapy Services across the UK are seriously underfunded. Please take 2 minutes to sign this petition. We need to get to 100,000 signatures first and Parliamentary debate. Thanks x petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6579…

For children starting school, there is lots to think about: new routines, new people to meet and lots of new vocabulary. Today, we’re thinking about the different adults in primary school with an activity to help you talk about these with your child. #sltfv #BackToSchool

How was the first week back at school? Now that your child has had a few days to settle in, we're sharing symbols to support conversations about where they have been each day. You could find out what their favourite was - and anything that felt less fun. #sltfv #ChattyTuesday
