Apologies if anyone is waiting for me to get back to them. Currently bedridden with a chest infection and will hopefully be back on work in a couple of days 😷Thanks for your understanding x

It might look like I’m “just playing”…

But behind the play….thats where the magic happens!

As an SLT, play can be a way of:

🗣️ Building rapport and creating connection
👂 Supporting listening and attention
💬 Modelling and encouraging language
🔎 Collecting language samples and noticing communication patterns
🤝 Creating opportunities for interaction and turn-taking
🧠 Supporting understanding, communication and social skills

If I’m honest, it’s a bonus if your child thinks they’re just playing. 💛

When therapy feels fun, natural and engaging, your child is more likely to be relaxed, motivated and genuinely involved while I’m busy creating opportunities to support their communication.

The toys and games might look simple, but there’s often a lot of thought behind what has been chosen and why.

So yes, we’re playing… but there’s always a purpose behind the play. ✨

Little Signs, Big Difference ✨

This week’s sign is BISCUIT

A sign like Biscuit is highly motivating to learn and use! Imagine your child catching on that everytime they used the sign..they got the biscuit? They’d pick it up pretty darn quick 😉

When we give children a way to communicate before spoken words are fully developed we are supporting connection, attention, language and confidence!

Whether you are a parent, teacher, TA or Early Years Professinal, simple signs consistently alongside spoken words in daily routines can make a big difference.

Try using the sign for “Biscuit” this week!

👉🏻 Saying and signing the word biscuit each time you offer one
👉🏻 Asking “do you want a biscuit?”

✅ As always: keep it playful, repeat it often and pair the sign with the spoken word every time.

I always knew I wanted to work in a caring profession. My Dad was a GP, my Mum worked with SEN children in schools and Speech and Language Therapy felt like a good mix of health and education to me.

I left school and heading straight to University to study SLT as a vocational degree. I couldn’t stay away from home for long though and ended up back in North Devon to work and raise a family 💛

It’s always such a privilege to be let into families and work with their precious children and I am thankful every day that I get to do what I do!

So grateful for such kind words! 💛

It’s a privilege to support each person on their speech and communication journey. Thank you for trusting me!

💬 If my little clients could leave reviews…

What would they say about speech and language therapy? 👀

Some (fictional!) reviews from the people who really know what matters…

✨ Fun games
✨ Being the boss
✨ Silly sounds
✨ and apparently…too much tidying up

Totally stole this reel idea from but too good not to do my own!

When you touch base with an old client and hear how well they are doing 🥰

I love it when my kids teach me things! This week I learnt that our much played with magnet tiles and the duplo board I thought we’d grown out of are a fit!

Over here we love open ended toys and magnet tiles have been a consistent favourite for years. More ideas on how we play with them coming up…

02/06/2026

Just call me the bag lady 😅

My visits are always so varied I never know what I’m going to need so…by the end of the day this is usually what my van looks like!

My kids are always well entertained on their way home from school though 😂

Did you know……..

…Even if I see your child at school or nursery when you aren’t present, I always try to send an email update to let you know how it went.

📩 This will include a little about how our session went and what practice to focus on between now and their next session.

We know therapy works best when it’s backed up at home and school in between direct sessions, so making sure everyone involved knows what to do is an important part of my role 🗣️
