Frosty days & blue skies = perfect Walk & Talk weather!

Therapist Laura’s student kicked things off brilliantly by using a picture to ask for a break and choose a walk - amazing communication in action! 💬

Meanwhile, Therapist Jade embraced the chill with a cold but gorgeous Walk & Talk session. Moving your body is such a powerful way to boost communication… so walk, bounce, climb, dance - whatever makes them happy and connected. 💛

A frosty field, bright blue skies, and one perfectly iced leaf - winter magic. ❄️✨

Welcome to our Makaton Christmas Series! 🎄

For the festive period, we’ll be sharing a selection of Christmas-themed Makaton signs - all performed by our brilliant students and non-signers, with plenty of seasonal sparkle along the way.

This week, Bea takes centre stage with the sign ANGEL, kicking off our Christmas countdown beautifully. 👼💫

And with our judging team on a well-earned festive break, YOU are stepping in as this week’s panel! 👀

🌟 What did you think of Bea’s performance?
🌟 How would you score her signing?

Head to the comments and let us know - we love seeing your feedback! 👐🎉

Stay tuned for more Christmassy Makaton magic each week! 🎅✨

Festive Word of the Week Series! ✨

For the next 5 weeks, we’re switching things up and exploring festive words - what they mean and where they came from (Etymology). Let’s get into the Christmas spirit with a little language magic! 🎄💫

T I N S E L

- An iridescent fabric interwoven with gold or silver-coloured thread.

Origin: From the French word étincelle, meaning sparkle. ✨

A lovely person-led session today with one of our animal lovers 🐹💛
There was time with the guinea pig, Hama bead creations, bracelet-making, and a gentle chat about the Post-14 personal development programme.

All of these activities also link beautifully to stages 1 and 2 of a confident communication programme for Selective Mutism - building connection, comfort and small moments of success. ✨

Celebrating 80 Years of the RCSLT! 🎉

This year marks 80 years of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists championing communication, supporting therapists, and pushing our profession forward - definitely something worth celebrating!

The official anniversary was on 6th January, but let’s be honest… an 80th deserves a full year of celebrations. 🥳

We can’t make it to the RCSLT Conference on the 26th–27th, but we’ll be cheering from afar. We're so proud to be part of a profession with such a rich history, brilliant leadership, and a shared passion for making communication accessible for everyone.

Here’s to eight decades of impact - and plenty more still to come. 💛

We’re back with another round of Makaton Strictly - and a tiny plot twist this week!

Yes… we may have gotten our schedule in a little twist and posted GLOVES a week early 🙈🧤
But don’t worry - we’re tuning things back in with the sign we should have shared last week: TELEVISION / TV!

Annie takes the spotlight with her TV-inspired signing, while Judge Laura watches closely to see if her performance deserves a prime-time slot.

Will Annie channel her inner star, or will Laura spot a few flickers on the screen? 🤔💃

Cheer her on, enjoy the fun, and keep signing along at home! 👐

A brilliant day delivering training and coaching with staff in a specialist setting!

Laura, Katie and Ami ran hands-on sessions on Selective Mutism, Blank’s Levels of Questioning and Vocabulary Development, helping staff feel more confident using communication-friendly approaches across the school.

We loved the enthusiasm, questions and ideas that came out of today - real teamwork to support every child to communicate in the way that works best for them. 💬✨

It’s a wintery week on Makaton Strictly!

This time, Annie steps up to perform the sign GLOVES, keeping those hands warm while Judge Katie looks closely at every movement and expression. 🧤📋

Will Annie deliver a snuggly, snug fit of a performance, or will Katie spot a few chilly slip-ups along the way?

Cheer her on, stay cosy, and keep signing along at home! 👐❄️🎉

Dysphagia Awareness in action!

Recently, Ami delivered a fantastic Dysphagia Awareness training session, covering what Dysphagia is, how swallowing works, the roles we all play in supporting eating and drinking, and practical ways we can help.

Such an important topic, shared brilliantly - everyone left full of knowledge (and maybe a few sweet treats). 😉🥣

This week’s Makaton Strictly Signing is extra special!! ✨

Our first-time signer Mitch takes on the Makaton sign DIABETES, with Judge Ami on hand to give her feedback. 🙌

Mitch was diagnosed with diabetes at age 7 and lives with the condition every day - and he’s done an incredible job learning and performing this week’s sign!

Will Ami be impressed with his debut performance? We think he’s already a star! 🌟
