Our Early Years team are pleased to offer monthly online workshops covering early language development. They are designed for parents and carers and those working within early years settings. Please see below for more information on the sessions and how to register.
We've had some great feedback from previous attendees:
“Lovely, positive approach from the speakers; the strategies recommended were accessible and the speakers gave great explanation of how they could be implemented. I feel much more positive about helping my child to communicate now.”
The Early Years Speech and Language Therapy Team will be talking about different strategies that may support your child.

Every child is unique. In this workshop the team will run through the speech, language and communication differences which your child may experience. The team will also provide some strategies which you can use to ensure your child understands and can be understood as much as possible.
This workshop is suitable for families and settings who support children with autism or suspected social communication differences.
