Are you familiar with neuro-affirming language and its benefits for a child’s development? - Read our new article now! 📖 #NeuroaffirmingLanguage #ChildDevelopment #SLCN

This article from the BBC today leaves a bitter taste: https://lnkd.in/e-XG-z8n as we've consistently heard comments such as: 'Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told BBC News she was "determined to turn it around," but it "will take time". We have encountered far too many cases like this and wonder, how is it possible for an Autism Assessment to take 10 years for an official diagnosis? Our focus has always been on the critical importance of EARLY INTERVENTION to secure a brighter future. We are constantly reflecting on how we can better support those with Special Needs, which is why we are continually forming partnerships and developing new services and programmes to support not just individuals with Special Needs, but the wider community. #SEN #SLCN #EarlyIntervention

It's DLD Awareness Day! 💛💜 Kath has been going around the office treating people to snacks with important DLD facts in them - some are in places you wouldn’t even think of! 🍫 Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is more common than you might think - even more common than autism - but still many people are unaware of it. That’s why shedding a light on DLD is so important, as the more people are aware of it, the easier it becomes to address the condition early. So join us as we raise awareness for DLD to give those affected by it a chance to reach their full potential!
