At age two Charles had limited speech which led to his mum feeling concerned, but local support from Nottinghamshire Healthcare’s Speech and Language team, has proved to be invaluable to seeing huge improvements.

The family accessed early language support via Home Talk, and despite Charles making progress and saying around 20 words, he still relied heavily on sound and gestures, so was referred to Nottinghamshire Healthcare’s Speech and Language Therapy team.

Tania Wallace, Speech and Language Therapist, conducted home visits and introduced different strategies for the family to try with Charles. These included coaching his parents to create opportunities for him to use words – rather than filling in the words for him or fetching the things he pointed to. She also used other strategies to encourage verbal communication, such as passing a bottle of bubbles but putting the lid on tight so he had to ask for them to be opened. She also offered choice as part of Charles’ play, for example asking him to choose whether a dolly should jump or sleep.

This moved on to a picture-based sentence building programme called colourful semantics, where Charles could build a simple sentence like ‘boys kicking a ball’, through colour-coded words and pictures. Tania also worked with Charles’ nursery and the staff began encouraging him to say the word of something he wanted rather than just point to it. They also offered him choice on a picture board, such as do you want to do painting or construction today?

Charles began linking words and interacting more confidently, including speaking to other children, and he was given a communication plan to continue his progress.

Tania planned group activities to support Charles’ social interaction, and his parents continued home activities and reported that he was beginning to build sentences.
