Independent SLTs play a crucial role in EHCPs. All SLT reports, whether from independent practitioners or NHS, must be considered equally by local authorities. Let's ensure fair support for children and young people.

Another lovely testimonial from a parent🤩
'I deeply appreciated all of the support, guidance and partnership work that took place throughout all of my child's sessions. The personalised plans were excellent, each session tailored to her needs and interest. She continues to make progress in her education and home life using the zone of regulation in particular. I also valued the communication with Miss Tuckley after each session, this only enhanced my child's opportunities to fully integrate and embed the information shared.'

The findings from this BICYCLE study (Born in Covid Year - Core Lockdown Effects) will be fascinating. I hope the findings lead to positive outcomes for children and help prevent this happening again, to the same extent. If you have a child born between 23rd March 2020-23rd June 2020 and would like to take part, see here https://bornincovidyear.co.uk/

Aqil and his twin were eight weeks old when lockdown hit - both are starting school with speech and language needs.

Lovely to read this testimonial from a parent...
'Rachael is simply amazing. She takes her time to know the child, and provides a lot of resources. My son's speech has blossomed since she started working with him. From saying zero words to saying lots now. Thank you, Rachael'

It’s Sound Talk’s official 10th birthday! (although really it’s 9 years of trading, but still…)

I’m feeling proud to have come so far and have so much gratitude to everyone who has supported me on the way. Big shout out to all the children, families and schools I work with - it is a privilege to join you on your journey.

And a special mention to the wonderful Steve Franks for helping me find the bravery to make Sound Talk a reality - all the invaluable tech support, giving me the resilience to keep this business going during the pandemic and being a fantastic co-juggler. Thank you for wearing all the hats with me.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to do what I do. Here’s hoping Sound Talk can help many more children to have a voice over the next 10 years, because communication matters.
