Early and social interaction skills are essential for every child to get the best start in life. Skills like language, eye contact, and self-regulation are just some of the things your child needs in order to excel-personally and academically!
Since the pandemic, both parents and teachers are becoming more concerned about children's abilities to interact. On top of that, there are delays in referrals to specialists.
According to the Education Endowment Fountain, in September 2020,
20-25% of children starting school needed help with language skills compared with the previous year.
Are you worried that your child isn't showing the typical social interaction skills for their age? Are you waiting for a referral and frustrated there isn't more you can do? Is your child receiving speech and language therapy, but do you want to do more for them?
