Project Impact

“I just wanted to say that was really helpful – all the messages we deliver on every visit in one place. Thank very much for sharing”

(Educational Psychologist)

“I have also stopped blaming myself for my child’s delays and I now know that I am doing everything I can to support her. Her progress is just slow and steady! I now have the confidence that my child’s development will grow, and she will communicate in time, in her own way. This may not be spoken communication and I am now aware of the different ways in which she does communicate with me now”

(Parent)

“ Last week a mum realised her daughter communicated more than she realised – she seemed to have a penny-drop moment that it’s not just about words!”, “I have enjoyed seeing the parents develop and pointing out what strategies they are doing and the impact this is having on their child”

(SLTs)

“I have honestly found all the training so so beneficial. Really enjoyed it and have so many things to take away”, “The resource packs will be very helpful as it was ideas and suggested resources that I needed”

(EY Practitioners)

“To get all this information was nice. To have someone guide me is less stressful and helps me feel better about what I can do to communicate with my child”
