Katy King Speech and Language Therapy

Back to school this week, new schools/new classes/new teachers. That’s a lot of change for our little ones. After 6 weeks off it’s a lot to take in. Be kind to yourselves and be kind to them. Ease off the demands at home, give them space to unwind when they get home-be that screens or cuddles whatever they need.

I know as parents we are desperate to learn about their day and what they’ve done. Try to avoid asking them too many questions and always wait till they’ve had some downtime and a snack. (Remember they’ve had 6 weeks of all you can eat so it will be a shock to the system going back to school 🤣)

I’m back to work from Wednesday and looking forward to getting back into a routine and seeing old clients and meeting new ones starting up over the next couple of weeks.

Often the first clients of the morning or afternoon will see me taking the cushions down from the shelves to put on the chairs….this is why! I wasn’t quick enough tidying up today!

For those coming to sessions today/tomorrow ignore the road closed sign if turning from the 217 onto sandcross lane as it is shut after the turning for my road.

That’s me done for my term time calendar. I’m now moving over to my holiday timetable.

Thank you to my clients for all the lovely gifts I’ve been given and the kind words written in thank you cards. It’s so lovely seeing them progress, grow and head off to pastures new but I will miss each of them and their happy, sometimes cheeky faces!

The end of a term is always an emotional time for parents and children. Change and transitions can be hard.

Today I had my last morning at Dovers Green school where I’ve been working for 7 years now. Will be strange to not be going back in September but it does mean I’ve got more slots open for private therapy from September (during the school day!)

There’s a bit on itv news from 6 today about how awful state of SEN provision in Surrey at the moment. I’m not clever enough to do a direct link but it’s this icon on itvx if you want to catch it.

It’s a frequent conversation I have with my clients from lack of placements and delays with provisions to EHCP’s not being given when needed!

A couple of local amazing parents have created a list of places to go over the summer that are SEN friendly.

A little disclaimer from them is to double check dates. If anyone has any other SEN friendly suggestions please feel free to share here.

Lots of exciting things going on behind the scenes with the website and booking system (not being done by me). My website will be down for a little bit but you can still contact me on here or via WhatsApp.

loony Luna is 1! She’s enjoyed having cuddles from so many clients since she arrived and enjoys doing her bottom wiggle dance at the gate to greet people as they arrive.
