This is perhaps the most important of all our workshops, giving children the skills they need to verbalise their needs, and to respond to the needs of others. Communication is the lynchpin of learning and can also improve behaviour, helping children to develop a sense of self, and to express how they feel in new situations – feeling nervous or shy, for example.

Our role as parents is vital to their developing communication skills. With your help, your child will develop and practise their skills, and learn to process information, and organise their ideas before they speak. This workshop gives your children the tools they need to say, “I am finding this hard” or, “I need some help, can you show me?” It sets them up to practice all the things they’ll need at school.
