Small steps, big voices 💬✨ Using AAC switch buttons to give meaningful choices and build functional communication with a non-speaking child because every voice deserves to be heard 💜💙

💙💜April is Autism Acceptance Month 💙💜

At CISLT Autism Acceptance is all year round for us and we are proud to be a neurodiversity-affirming team. We work alongside Autistic children and their families to support, understand, and celebrate individual communication styles and profiles. We validate all ways of communicating and believe that communication should feel authentic, meaningful, and empowering for each child we work with.

We don’t aim to change how someone communicates, we aim to support communication that feels natural, comfortable, and true to them.

Every way of communicating is unique and valid 🌈♾️ 💙💜

ASLTIP is proud to have co-signed a letter to Parliament calling for increased investment in speech and language therapy, and we wanted to share why this matters so much to us.

Alongside the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, Mikey's Wish Foundation and other partners, we are standing behind a simple but important message: speech and language therapy is essential, and too many people aren't getting the support they need.

As independent SLT's, we see this everyday. We see the impact of unmet need and the life-changing difference it makes when support comes at the right time.

This is about more than funding. It is about children finding their voice. Adults rebuilding their confidence. Families being heard.
Independent Speech and Language Therapists are part of that wider system.

We're proud to be part of a professional that fights for that, and proud to stand alongside our colleagues in calling for investment that truly reflects the value of communication support across health, education and social care.

We such a great time at the ASLTIP 2026 Conference on Friday! ✨

It was a brilliant opportunity to learn, reflect, and most importantly connect with so many inspiring independent therapists and collaborators. There’s something really special about sharing ideas, experiences, and passion with people who truly understand the work we do.

Feeling energised, motivated, and grateful to be part of such a supportive community 💬💙💜

It’s Spring - finally! 🌷🌺 Longer days, warmer weather, and (hopefully!) a little more sunshine on the way ☀️

I feel like we’ve been in social media hibernation lately… we hit the ground running after Christmas and haven’t slowed down since!

That said, I wanted to share this incredible piece of work. Mia and Jessica recently designed and delivered a fantastic programme, supported by SEN teachers at a local secondary school and the impact has been amazing.

We’ve been working with the school for just over a year, and through close collaboration with their SEN team, we identified a real gap in Speech, Language and Communication (SLCN) support for Year 10 and 11 students. Many of these young people have faced significant disruption due to the pandemic, and some have had little or no SLT input, despite clear needs. Sadly, this reflects a wider national picture.

With exams approaching and students preparing for their next steps, we dedicated a full day to:
✨ Understanding & learning exam vocabulary
✨ Improving question comprehension
✨ Planning effective answers
✨ Developing self-advocacy skills for the classroom, exams, and beyond

The feedback has been fantastic from staff and, most importantly, from the students themselves. Even better, we’ve already seen examples of them applying these strategies in their learning the very next week 👏

A huge well done to Mia and Jessica - you’ve done an incredible job! 💛

If you’d like to find out more about our tailored primary and secondary services, we’d love to hear from you, please get in touch.💙💜

💜💙Welcoming Mia to our team!💜💙

Mia joined our team after Christmas and she has been providing some amazing sessions. We are thrilled to have her join us! 😀⭐

Mia has achieved a Master’s in Speech and Language Therapy from the University of Essex, following a joint honours undergraduate degree in Linguistics. She combines the technical knowledge gained through her studies with a compassionate and empathetic approach, delivering care that is both evidence-based and person-centred.

Mia has extensive clinical experience working with adults with communication difficulties, including those recovering from stroke. She applies rehabilitative knowledge to support service users in achieving meaningful, goal-centred outcomes, collaborating closely to set targets that are personal, attainable, and measurable. Her particular interest in aphasia has led her to contribute to projects aimed at improving care and outcomes for individuals with this condition.

She also has significant experience supporting children and young people with a range of communication challenges, including developmental language disorders. Her work within primary and secondary schools has provided insight into supporting children and adolescents in educational settings, enabling therapy to be adapted to their developmental, social, and academic needs.

Mia is dedicated to improving quality of life through speech and language therapy. Her combination of clinical expertise, academic knowledge, and empathetic approach ensures that therapy is impactful, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

So good to have you on board Mia 🤩💜💙
