About us
Some children face everyday challenges with listening, interacting with others, learning from what they hear and expressing their needs, desires and ideas. Without help their learning and development can be held back, and their dreams made significantly harder for them to achieve.
Our specialist Speech and Language Therapists help by providing family and child centred communication therapy that is fun, interactive, and based on the best and proven therapy practices chosen to suit your child's needs.
Testimonials
Jenny is a therapist who not only keeps the child in the centre of all that she does but also looks to the support needs of the families. I admire the way that she effectively explains the child's next step targets and activities. She naturally demonstrates MAKATON as she communicates which is inspiring for us all. Jenny has a wide range of knowledge and as staff we have learned so much from her. Jenny is an expert in her field but is prepared to learn from others, this is a great quality.
Jane Boulton: Manager of Springboard District Specialist Centre in Chippenham
Our son really enjoyed seeing Jenny every week. His improvement was noticeable and remarked upon by friends and family. We would highly recommend her.
