Schools are already spending money on communication support.
The question is:
What creates long-term impact that can help every child in the school?

Congratulations to all of the Speech and Language Therapy students who finish placement today.
Reflect on how far you have come, all of the things that you have learnt from your placement and ask any final questions.

I can't believe it is half term again! I am hoping for good weather this week so I can spend time outside with the kids.
What half term plans have you got?

An old video case is all you need for upping how you use a Now, Next board.
On the outside you can slip in the activities for Now and Next. All the other cards can be stored inside the case so they don't get lost.

The need is great, and we are working hard to help schools and nurseries to meet that need.
This September, we are launching the Speech and Language Scheme.

Talking about screen time with parents can feel daunting.
So let me help you. As a mum of 2 and Speech and Language Therapist it is all about intention and being present.

Jenga is a classic for a reason. There are many ways that you can use it, and when the towers falls down there is the opportunity to use lots of exclamatory words like 'wow' and think about feelings.

At Chatterboxes, we offer weekly and bi-weekly therapy in schools across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
That means one child could receive 19 or 38 one to one therapy sessions with the same qualified therapist during the school year!

How cool is this fact for #BSLday.

What is your favourite regional word? As we are based in the Midlands, I am picking the debate for what word you use for a small circular bread. Roll? Cob? Batch? Bap? Take your pick!

⏰This activity about tenses set up by Halima is really simple but it ticks all of the boxes for a great communication activity.
You have visual aids, lots of repetition, and you can ask the child can make a pile of the cards they have done so they feel in control.

Wordless books are a fantastic speech and language tool.
This series by Kulvinder Kaur is one of our favourites and can be used in so many ways to support children with their communication.

You don't need to have any expertise to be able to support children develop their communication skills.

Our Activity Cards have been designed to help children at all stages of communication. Perfect for parents and teachers.

We love playing games as part of our therapy sessions!

They work as a great motivational tool for the children, encourage team work, turn taking and also bring all of the fun.
