ONLINE PARENT COACHING SESSIONS TO SUPPORT SPEECH & LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME.

NEXT SESSIONS:
FRIDAY or SATURDAY 10th & 11th JULY

Led by Speech & Language Therapist and Early Years Development Clinician.

Our online parent coaching sessions offer an excellent opportunity to speak to a highly experienced Speech and Language Therapist and find effective ways for you to support your child’s communication skills.

Topics can include feeding and eating, sound development, learning through play and understanding behaviours.

Each session gives tailored advice so is relevant whatever your child's age or stage of development.

Sessions are also suitable for children with a dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism or if autism is suspected.

Get really practical advice to help you NOW and we can help to problem-solve any concerns as well as sign-post to any other useful services if needed.

Our therapists use evidence-based parent and child interaction strategies to promote language development. The strategies are easy to understand and simple to implement.

The small group sessions are a safe and comfortable environment where you receive tailored advice and can build your confidence.

Parents Testimony:
“These sessions are golden and have been full of invaluable gems… but what truly sets them apart is the focus on weaving speech and language into everyday life, rather than just handing out a list of tasks to complete.

I can’t stress just how refreshing it is and just what a relief, removing the added pressure. Instead I come away after each session feeling empowered as a parent carer.”

The sessions also give a great opportunity to meet other parents or carers and share experiences and advice.

Session Times:
10am - 0-2 years
11am - 2-4 years
12pm: 4-8 years

Times may vary but we will always endeavour to get you onto a suitable group.

Duration: 1 Hour
Session Cost £10 per family
Free places are available if cost is a barrier, please contact us.

Small group sessions so please book as early as possible.
