Talking Toddlers
Welcome to Talking Toddlers
Talking Toddlers is a fun group for you and your child. We will show you how to support your child’s language development and practice this in group sessions.
Language difficulties are nobody’s fault, but changing the way you talk can really help your child.
Some children may find it difficult to settle down at first or to join in, please do not worry we will support you with this.
During the group:
We will sing and play together.
We will have snack time.
We will play group games and activities.
You can help your child to join in with these activities by sitting with them and showing them what to do.
To help us to get to know your child we will be writing notes. This will help us to see the progress your child has made. When the group has finished we will arrange an individual appointment to feedback on these observations and discuss any further support for your child.
If you have any questions please ask us during the group sessions.
You may see your child having lots of fun but sadly we cannot allow any photos or videos to be taken during the groups.
For more information please contact the Speech and Language Therapy Service on 0114 305 3966 or 0114 305 3967.
