CHATTERBOX
CHATTERBOX
OUR AIM IS TO IMPROVE THE FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE SPECIFIC SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DISORDERS ATTENDING MAINSTREAM SCHOOLS.
For most children, learning to talk is the most natural thing in the world. Communication is a powerful survival tool, one which shapes our future from the moment we are born. The cry of a new-born baby will immediately bring its parents running to attend to its needs. Infants will use gesture and eye-pointing to communicate with a great degree of success. Language, for the majority of the population, is something that is inherent within us, something we develop without any thought as to how we achieve it.
