With Christmas only a week away you’re running out of time to get your hands on one of our fantastic memory games for the festivities!!

Little Isla absolutely loved playing our interactive and educational game.

This video shows her first ever encounter with BSL, and she absolutely smashed it - we had so much fun acting out the signs and guessing what each one meant 🧏‍♀️

What are you waiting for… order now to receive before Christmas!🎄

We are celebrating International day of Education by promoting live captioning in classrooms.

Research has found that subtitles improve literacy and
language development. This has significant value as, for many schools, funding has been falling
in real terms and the number of children identified with SEN has been increasing.

Our ground-breaking campaign ‘Action for Captions’ wants every
classroom in the country to have access to live captioning software. Our goal is to make
education more accessible for all children in mainstream schools by making spoken language
visible.
