North West Speech & Language Therapy

Independent Speech and Language Therapy Service. Working with families, schools and organisations.

18/04/2026

Today’s sessions were all about friends and family 💛

Sharing a few simple speech and language therapy ideas you can try at home or in school:

• Visual word mats to build friends and family vocabulary
• Makaton signs for key family words
• Core symbol boards to model and support language
• A fun “gumball machine” game to practise talking about family members
• Sorting “good friend / not a good friend” scenarios (younger and older examples)
• Drawing and talking about special people (with questions at different levels)
• Asking each other questions to learn more about our families and practice our conversation skills

Families and friends are such an important topic. It helps children and young people talk about who is important to them and build connections with others 😊

A little look inside our clinic space 💛

We continue to offer home, nursery and school visits across the North West but we also have clinic appointments available in Chorley for families who prefer to come to us.

Clinic sessions can be a great option for a consistent, calm space to focus on communication.
