Supporting Your Child's Speech and Language Skills

Lucy Nicholls from Thumbs Up Therapy joined us with her colleague, Joanna Lim, to discuss how to support your child's speech and language skills at home. 

The workshop explored:

• The role of a Speech and Language Therapist in school

• Speech versus language

• Typical speech, language, and communication development for 5–11 years

• How families can support language and social skills in a fun way this summer break

• When and how to refer speech, language, and communication concerns

• How bilingualism impacts speech and language needs
