The design wizards in Lau have married their design and technology skills with their super computing knowledge to programme their handmade carousels. They have been using the Crumble technology. A Crumble is an electronics controller that connects to a computer using a USB cable. As you can see from the pictures, using Crumble was a very satisfying way of moving the children's DT handiwork.

Speech and language therapy provides services for children and young people (aged 0 – 19 years) in the borough of Richmond who are having difficulties with the development of their speech, language, communication and feeding.

We work closely with parents and relevant professionals to enhance and assist the development of all areas of the child/young person’s speech, language and communication and feeding. We will also suggest and model strategies that can be reinforced throughout the day.

We have a Resources and links page, with lots of support materials for families.

We offer assessment and input in the areas of:

• Attention and listening

• Understanding spoken/signed language

• Communicating using sentences and vocabulary appropriate for the person’s age

• Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC)

• Using speech sounds appropriate for the person’s age

• Social interaction and play

• Stammering

• Voice production

• Feeding and swallowing, including sensory behavioural difficulties

As well as providing assessment and input to children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN), we also provide:

• Training and support for families and other people involved in the care of children and young people with speech, language and communication needs

• Training for professionals who work with children and young people with communication needs. These are delivered in a variety of settings including schools, early year’s settings, and children’s centres.  We also contribute to the local council’s workforce development training programme
