Children who spend the most time on devices or in front of screens find conversation and learning harder, the government says.

We are excited to offer a series of Speech, Language and Communication workshops, in collaboration with Norfolk Virtual Schools Services.

These sessions are in association with Norfolk County Council and you can access as many sessions as you are able to attend. They will be delivered by our wonderful training lead Hannah Bedford, and are designed to be accessible to all.

In today’s ‘Meet the Team’, we are proud to introduce, Justin!

Justin enjoys supporting individuals with Social Communication skills, to help develop their independence and self advocacy.

He’s pretty tech savvy, and recently delivered some brilliant training to our team at a CPD day, focused on integrating tech-based platforms and even AI into our resources and therapy practice!

Outside of work he has a keen interest in fitness, but his go-to snacks are a milkshake and fries - he loves trying new foods🥤 🍟

We’re thrilled to have Justin as part of our team, and are very grateful for his innovative ideas! 💡

This term, as well as some ‘day in the lives’, you’ll also get a sneak peak into some of our therapy bags with our ‘let’s pack for speech therapy’ videos. Here, Gemma gives us a preview of what she has in her therapy bag when working specifically on the ‘sh’ sound, and we think it looks like great fun!

Welcome back to the start of the Spring Term!

First things first, we must give a belated ‘Thank you!’ to our wonderful winner of our Communicate Excellence Award for the second half of the Autumn Term.

A popular repeat nominee, here are some of the lovely things Bethan nominated Karen for!

‘Karen is a brilliant LSA to work with. She is really proactive in seeking out new activities, observing sessions, checking that what she’s doing is effective, and keeping me up to date on pupils’ progress. We’ve done several joint therapy sessions together which has been so helpful for us and the pupils. I think she’s great and the pupils are lucky to have her!’

Thank you so much Karen, for all your amazing work. We appreciate all you do, and hope you see this little shout out to thank you!

Wishing everyone that we work with all the best for 2026! We can’t wait to show you more of what we get up to as a team!

Our final ‘Meet the Team’ post for the Autumn Term, is our wonderful Johannah!

You might hear children referring to her as ‘Jo, Miss Jo, and Speech Lady’… Johannah responds to them all!

Within the team she holds additional training and special interest in supporting individuals with Stammering and Voice presentations, and also comes with a wealth of experience in Forest Schooling.
She even taught the team how to tie knots at a CPD day!

She loves a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, and a slice of home made Honey Cake.

Outside of work she’s a Woodland enthusiast, and also loves swimming in the sea!
