🌟 Over the Easter holidays, the Slough Youth Justice Team hosted an Anti-Knife Crime Awareness Event. Our therapist Libby was there: 🗣️ “I shared how speech and language difficulties affect young people, and introduced tools like the communication passport.”💛✨

Our speech and language therapists and Short Breaks team are gearing up for Summer 2025 Short Break with Work Experience for young people with DS/learning disabilities age 16-30⏳Book by May 15th. #IndependenceBuilding #WorkExperience #DownSyndrome #LearningDisabilities

Andrea Woodcock and Jo Gawn, two of our speech and language therapists from our Down syndrome service have had a fun week at the farm with kids and the team from 21 Together. It’s been a great reminder that speech and language therapists can work on communication anywhere!

🎉 Abi, one of our Speech and Language Therapists, recently completed a training session with mainstream schools, supported by the Youth Justice Service. The feedback has been really positive! 🙌
A big thank you to everyone involved! We’re happy to have had a positive impact. 💪

Thank you so much to @marlowlib (Marlow Library) for hosting our Symbol #devlangdis drop in event today. @amandafiner and @libertyhale spoke to children, teens, parents and grandparents about language disorder and the impact, and raised awareness of speech and language therapy.
