Happy Eid to everyone who is celebrating this week. Wishing everyone a wonderful year ahead. #ramadan #eidmubarak #eid #ramadan

Which is your favourite photo? ➡ Team wellbeing is really important at Chatterboxes 🧘‍♀️ We regularly have wellbeing sessions with Luminosa Coaching and find them so helpful and motivating. Last week, Heather's session focused on how to celebrate team success. #wellbeing #slt

We always have a mix of games on hand to keep each child focused and having fun during a therapy session. These are just a few of the games that we have been playing this half term. #games #speechtherapy #slt #learnthroughplay #communicationideas

Makaton is a really fun way to include some non-verbal communication in your classroom. It's British Sign Language week this week so to celebrate we want to share some signs. #bsl #makaton #bslweek #signoftheweek #nonverbalcommunication

Describe your mother in 3 words 📷 We'll start: strong, caring and funny. Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all the mums, Nannys, Grandmas, stepmoms, foster Mums, mums to be and mother figures. #mothersday #mum #speechtherapy

We love feedback! Receiving testimonials like this from our schools is such a testament to how hard all of our team works to give each school the best experience and tailor it to their specific needs. #slt #speechtherapy #birmingham #schools #speechandlanguage

Board games are a hidden gem! This month we've chosen Jenga. It's a classic but it's a game that you can adapt to the child by sticking sounds, words or pictures onto the blocks to match the level that the child is working to. #jenga #speechtherapist #languagedevelopment #eyfs

Behind every successful business is a woman making it happen. Our small business was founded by a woman so today, we want to celebrate our team, clients and customers who build, lead, and create every day. #WomenWhoBuild #InternationalWomensDay #IWD

It's like a 3D taskboard! Assessments are a crucial part of therapy, and it's often our first session with a child. There are several areas of communication we need to cover so our founder Charlie has found a great way of making this fun with buckets. #slt #slt2be #slttips

To celebrate World Book Day, our team have chosen some of their favourite children's book that can help with communication. Books are one of the easiest but most effective methods we have. #worldbookday #books #reading #speechtherapy #eyfsteacher

Our case supervisor Olly has been working on the conjunctions 'and' vs 'but'. The animals were a great visual aid. Olly asked the child to identify if the 2 sentences are talking about the same thing, or a different thing. #slt #speechtherapy #teachertools #communication

Student Study Day 2026 🎉 We had an absolute blast on Saturday for our Student Study Day at @MyBCU Thank you so much for having us! You are going to make fantastic Speech and Language Therapists. #slt2be #nqp #bcu #speechtherapist #speechandlanguage

Our study day is on Saturday and we are so excited to spend the day with BCU final years. We love the enthusiasm, interest and all the really good questions students ask us before they head to final placement. #slt #studyday #slt2be #students #bcu

Ellie has been using colourful semantics with a child this half term as she was struggling with shape coding and it has worked much better for her. Colours can help the brain with information processing and memory retention. #slt #communication

Who doesn't love getting the fishing game out? Our lovely team member Judy was working with a Year 1 child last week on prepositions. This child has already mastered the first step of placing objects behind others so it was time to step it up. #slt #languagegame #salt #teachers

⭐️ MEET THE TEAM Pt. 5 ⭐️ Say hello to the lovely Halima! She joined the team for the start of the new school year and has slotted into our group so well. She has the warmest smile and is always keen to learn and ask questions. #meettheteam #slt #gettoknowme #speechandlanguage
