#SLCN are more prevalent in the #offendingpopulation than in the general population. 👮 Adults with needs are failed children with needs. We have a duty to assess and support these young people so they are not drawn into a life of #crime. #speechtherapy #crimeiscommunication

We all know how important reading to our children is when they are little BUT did you know that there is research to show that book reading is effective in improving children's receptive language even after 3 years old! (Law et al, 2018)📖 #bookreading #slt #languagedevelopment

Eye Contact 👀 Rather than forcing Autistic individuals to increase eye-contact, try giving them the skills to be able to say that they find it difficult and ask if it is okay if they look away. #AutismAcceptance #speechandlanguagetherapy #Neurodiversity #eyecontact

Earlier this week the EEF reported that Speech and Langauge needs in Primary schools had increased by 20-25%. Don't wait for school or nursery to refer your child if you are concerned! #speechandlanguagetherapy #educationendowmentfoundation #primaryeducation #covid19


Functional Language 👄 It can be tempting to teach our children shapes 🟨 and numbers 2️⃣ but FUNCTIONAL words are the ones that help little ones get their needs met! "More apple" is more useful than "one red" 💬 #speechandlanguagetherapy #earlylanguage #languagedevelopment

While Mums are often labelled "protective", strict and boring, Dads, uncle's, older brothers, cousins and grandfathers often take on the role of "the cool one". Kids rely on them to take risks, learn practical skills and sometimes bend the rules! 🧔🏻 #cooldad #fatherfigure
