Practical advice and we will also help to problem-solve any concerns and sign post to other 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.

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

“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.”

A great opportunity to meet other parents and carers and share advice and experiences.

Session Times:

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

The session times may vary depending on demand but we will always endeavour to get you onto a suitable group.
