Wonderful article featuring Catrina Dyer from @RMCHosp Cleft team. Top tips to boost speech shared e.g. getting face to face, demonstrating sounds & not expecting children to copy immediately. Our books were written with these strategies in mind to make sound play accessible.

"It breaks my heart to ask like this – I know that so many are struggling at the moment. But I believe you have a right to know what’s happening so you can help us turn it around." An urgent appeal from our Chief Executive: bit.ly/3SayyOk
