Listen, Speak, Sign Therapies

23/09/2025

It’s international day of sign languages, so I’m sharing a post I made a while ago for sign language week.

Did you know there are an estimated 300 different sign languages used in the world today? They often spring up out of necessity to find a communication mode amongst deaf communities.

Have you heard the myth that sign language prevents spoken language development? It’s just not true! For deaf babies, sign language is more than just a nice added extra: it can be the difference in how their brain develops!

Watch this video to find out more, and share it to spread awareness today!

Did you know…
there are approximately 14 million grandparents in the UK?

This grandparents day, I’m thinking about the unique contribution that grandparents give to their grandchildren’s language development. Telling stories about the past and involving them in your daily routines gives them lots of opportunities to hear high quality language modelling and to get involved in conversations.

Maybe grandparents are the child’s only source of exposure to a language of their heritage: this an invaluable opportunity to reap the benefits of bilingualism while they are still young.

Whatever your involvement in your grandchild’s life, your influence is undeniable!

Share this post to inspire the grandparents in your life today!

If your child is starting school this week, you need to read this.

ALL children benefit from the strategies we champion as Speech and Language Therapists. And a week like this is the time they need them most.

If your little one is starting school, there will be some big emotions involved. A new routine, a new situation. For many children, they either bottle up the big feelings, or they outburst from the overwhelm.

By giving your child the opportunity to prepare for the change, and an outlet to talk about it, you are supporting them to manage these emotions in the healthiest way possible.

You know what, these tips will work for older children going back to a new class too!

What will you do this week to get your child ready for school?
