Our projects & services
Support for parents is provided primarily through:
- School Transition Courses, held in the summer holidays for children moving on to Secondary School.
- Our pioneering DLD Together Training Courses for parents.
- Our Parents’ Telephone Helpline.
Primary to Secondary School Transition Courses
Is your child moving from Primary School to Secondary School and do you feel they would benefit from additional help with managing this transition? This week long course takes place in the summer holidays and we try to arrange as many courses as possible each year, in many areas, with the help of school staff, speech and language therapists and volunteers. This year we are looking to arrange National Online Courses too. Details of last years courses can be found here 2024 Summer Transition Courses
We are always looking for help to deliver these essential courses. If you are a SLT, SENCO or Teaching Staff please see here for further information Course Information for Professionals
If you would like to be a volunteer please click on the Get Involved link below.
