Professionals
Do you work with a child who is 'non-verbal' or 'minimally speaking'?
Are you feeling a little stuck as to what you're supposed to do to help them in school/preschool?
Is your experience in working with children who aren't talking and who are autistic or on the referral pathway a little limited?
Would you just absolutely love for a Speech & Language Therapist to tell you what to do?
So that you can:
🌼 Feel less ‘out of your depth’ if you’re asked to work with a child who is autistic or is 'non-verbal'/'minimally speaking'.
🌼 Have a range of simple strategies and fun activities that you can use with children who are minimally verbal.
🌼 Feel confident to begin working with children who are (or are suspected to be) autistic.
🌼 Have an idea of language development and how to help your child's communication at school, as well as suggest things for their family to help them at home.
Parents
Are you worried about your child's lack of talking and you're looking for some help?
You're doing all of the 'right things'- reading books, singing songs, lots of language modelling at home but they just aren't saying very many words?
Maybe your child has been referred for assessment or has has an autism diagnosis and you're keen to do more to help them.
I'm here to help you, to give you information, advice and activities so that you can
🌼 Feel less alone in wondering what you can do to help your child communicate.
🌼 Know what the stages of early language development are and what to look out for with your child now and what will be their next step.
🌼 Have an idea of your own child's communication and how you can help them at home.
🌼 Feel reassured that you're doing a great job and feel confident to suggest things to your child's teacher or key workers at school or nursery.
