Welcome to #NationalYearofReading in this #NationalStorytellingWeek We’re 3 speech & language therapists passionate about helping children communicate through our series of sound play books. Join Baby Bear finding, seeing & feeling sounds in these rhyming stories @Literacy_Trust

@MichaelRosenYes @BBCRadio4 what a delight listening to Word of Mouth The Story of A-Z . Naming sounds just fascinating. We’re all about finding sounds, (not the lost ones 😆)listening, seeing and feeling them in all their glory! TTFN

Nikki McDonald shares her son's journey with speech and language therapy for his severe #SSD showing the value of evidence-based dosage to support Raising Awareness of Dosage in Speech Sound Disorder (RADiSSD). Find the video here thespeechdoctorni.co.uk/radissd @CSDRNetwork

I am so excited to share Luca's journey in the new RADiSSD video. @jitterington @RADiSSD @RCSLT @RCSLTNI youtu.be/AvH16wErsLE?si…

🚨 #ICYMI the @DCPcampaign and Speech, Language and Communication Alliance have published 'Fight for Ordinary: How to spend less and get better outcomes for children with speech and language challenges'. ▶️ speechandlanguage.org.uk/about-us/news-… 🔽 Check out @RCSLT's response below.

🚨 It’s not just @RCSLT who is highlighting the impact of long waits. @DHSCgovuk recognises the issue, as @zubirahmed said earlier this month. That’s why we’re calling on @hmtreasury's @RachelReevesMP to #InvestInSLT in the Budget and on the Govt to publish its SLT Action Plan.

It’s here! We’re thrilled to launch The Sound We Feel, the newest book in our Listen and Look series. Helping little ones explore speech sounds in a whole new way. @CLAPACOMMUNITY @CleftProud @CleftAwareness @RCSLT @SmileyNews @Smiletrain @amlibraries @EYAlliance @ILoveLibraries

With the Budget just days away, here’s the parliamentary debate from January in which MPs of all parties very powerfully highlighted the need to #InvestInSLT including through sharing their personal and constituency experiences. hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-0…

NICE has recently stated: ‘Improved speech, language and communication may also increase participation in education and employment offering broader social and economic benefits.’ We agree. That’s why we’re calling on the Govt to #InvestInSLT and publish its SLT Action Plan.

@DanWuori This is Adorable!

It’s true: Infants not only babble with an accent, but even their cries reflect the unique musicality of their mothers’ native languages. Many of you tagged me this week on this video shared by p0lar_fawn (X), which depicts the babbling of a happy French baby. If you listen closely, you’ll notice that the phrasing, intonation and vowel sounds in the little one’s vocalizations - while not yet conventional - sound distinctly French. Speech therapists call this prosody and - believe it or not - it’s something infants begin picking up in utero, even before they enter the world. As the senses activate near the end of the third trimester, children are exposed not only to the tone of their own mothers’ voices but the prosody of their spoken language. After birth these patterns are evident in both the intonation of their cries and their earliest speech sounds. It’s all a part of language acquisition - and truly amazing to behold.

Mikey’s MP @bhatti_saqib has written to @SKinnock asking for an update on the action plan that was promised to the #InvestinSLT team for improving speech and language services @RCSLT @RCSLTpolicy @PeterDJust @leckiegeorgia @pamslater @about_speech @YasFirth8343 @chris_kammy

5 years as published authors! 2 books in 3 languages. Thanks to all our collaborators & every reader, parent, teacher & therapist who believed in our story & shared with little ears & voices. Here’s to more books, sounds & smiles @CLAPACOMMUNITY @RCSLT @slcnstories @chris_kammy

@NicolaCornick @WantageBookshop Absolutely! One of us saw this the other day and it’s so informative as well as being beautifully illustrated.

It’s ok to buy children’s books for yourself, isn’t it? 😳@WantageBookshop

Delighted that one of our co-authors was recognised for her innovative approach benefiting children and young people in her speech therapy work and for the wider impact our books have had. #AwardWinning What have you done today to make you feel #proud

It was an exciting day for Baby Bear - no finding sounds today but finding none other than Waterstones Children’s Laureate @frankcottrell_b @nextpagebooksUK Great to talk about early intervention and all things speech therapy related #earlyyears #reading #storytime

Fabulous 80th Anniversary of VE Day in Clifton. Baby Bear had an exciting time on the zip wire from the church tower, made even more special by being placed in the basket by our very own MP @alistrathern . What sound did you find Baby Bear? I think it was weeee! #VE80 #community
