"What do you need right now?" 🤔

Before we can answer that question, we need to notice the signals our body is giving us. This is called interoception.

Interoception is our ability to notice signals like hunger, thirst, tiredness, or big feelings. When we can recognise these signals, we're better able to communicate our needs, emotions, and experiences to others. 🍏🥤☀❄

For some children, noticing and interpreting these signals can be tricky. This can make it harder to communicate needs, understand emotions, or explain how they're feeling.

When children develop awareness of their internal body signals, they can be better supported to communicate their needs, emotions, and wellbeing. 💚

The best learning often happens when children don't realise they're working hard! ☀️

Outdoor play provides endless opportunities to practise speech and language targets naturally, from describing what they can see, retelling stories of the day, playing instruction games, and learning new words.

Sunshine, play, and progress all in one! 🌻💬✨

And just like that.. it's the summer holidays! ☀️

A huge thank you to all the families, schools and settings we've worked with this year. It's been a busy one!

We're really looking forward to supporting more children and young people over the summer break and getting organised for the new school year. Over the holidays our team will be taking some well-earned time to switch off, recharge and enjoy the summer with their own families. 💛

Have a fantastic summer whatever you've got planned 🌈 🍦

This half term, Emily has been exploring local parks with her girls and spotting symbol-based communication boards along the way!

These visual supports can make a big difference.
Offering children alternative ways to communicate, connect and feel included in shared spaces.

It’s amazing to see communities taking steps towards more accessible communication for all users💚

We’re right in the middle of exam season 💭
And exams aren’t just about knowing the answers.

For many children and young people, the biggest challenge is understanding the language of exams... the instructions, the wording of questions, time limits and what’s being asked of them.

Even now, it’s not too late. We’re supporting students to understand the exam process and helping them navigate new language and concepts, so they can show what they really know.

Reducing language load and supporting comprehension can make a real difference to confidence and access. 💪

This week has been 'Mental Health Awareness Week' and it has been a helpful pause and reflection point for us 💚

As a team, we’ve been focusing on the everyday things that support wellbeing - checking in with one another, making space for rest, being flexible, and recognising that everyone’s capacity looks different.

Looking after our own mental health helps us show up calmly, responsively and with empathy for the children and families we work with. Regulation, connection and communication are for adults too.

Wellbeing isn’t a one‑off week, it’s something we keep practising and prioritising together 🌱
