As you hopefully are aware, we are working this term on creating an employed role for a Speech and Language Therapist with Sunshine & Smiles; we have a lot of sessions and support to cover and have decided the most sensible way forward is to employ our own therapist.
Obviously this has led to a delay in getting our usual groups up and running, and we understand how valued these groups are to our families. To help bridge this gap Lauren (Speech and Language Therapist) has agreed to run 2 full days of Speech and Language sessions - 19th November and 10th December. These will be held online via Zoom.
You can book into a session on one or both of these dates here. If you know that your child/young person works well in a group with others that you know, feel free to sort that amongst yourselves and book 2 consecutive sessions for a group of 2 or more - just make a note on the booking of who will be attending.
The sessions are open to any of our familes with the exception of those who are already attending sessions with Ruth Mercer.
We really hope you find these sessions helpful, and look forward to updating you as we progress to employing our own Speech and Language Therapist.
