Happy to share this news on #Mondaymotivations
Deputy Minister for social services Julie Morgan said,
"I am pleased we have supported the publication of The Sound We See and Pa Synau Welwn Ni? and funded the translation of the book to ensure accessibility." #bilingual
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.
Wonderful to network, learn and reflect on our practises with our colleagues from around the UK. We presented, shared and judged posters, chaired sessions and had a wonderful team building time. Diolch @CFSGBI for coming to Cardiff #alwaysimproving#workingtogether
"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."
