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
