Watching the eclipse together ☀️

The eclipse is a magical opportunity to explore, wonder and learn together. Here are some simple ways to support your child’s language while you watch

✨ Talk about what you can see – “the sky is getting darker”, “look the sun is changing shape”, “wow so bright!”
✨ Use new words – eclipse, shadow, moon sun, light, dark, in front. Repeat these in sentences.
✨ Encourage questions – “what do you think will happen next?” “why do you think that?”
✨ Share how it feels – ‘it’s exciting’, ‘how amazing’.
✨ Extend the experience – read books, draw what you saw or make a collage of the sun and moon. Tell others about what you saw.
✨ Follow their interests. If they’re fascinated by the glasses, shadows or darkness, talk about that. Even if it’s the snacks you brought with you! Language develops best when children are engaged in something they genuinely enjoy.

You don’t need to turn an eclipse into a language lesson. Just enjoy it together, talk about what you notice, follow your child’s lead and add a little more language to what they’re already saying 🌒

An afternoon of paint, colour and lots of laughter!

Last week, our wonderful LST team spent our summer social getting creative at .london – painting pots, mixing colours and slowing down to focus and use our hands!

There’s something so lovely about a room full of speech therapists making things together. Our hands do so much in our day to day work – gesturing, modelling, signing, playing to help children and adults find their voice in every possible way!

Seeing everyone’s artistic side come out was tonnes of fun, and we rounded the day off with drinks and nibbles at a local pub. It was a perfect way to celebrate this lovely bunch.

Thanks to everyone for a fab afternoon – and to .london for hosting us 💛

Communication starts long before first words.

At just 12 weeks old, we’re already sharing the beginnings of a conversation here..

Notice how I’m following his lead, getting face to face, repeating back his vocalisations, pausing to give him time to respond, and treating every smile, look and little coo as meaningful communication.

These simple back and forth interactions are often known as serve and return. Every time we respond to our child’s attempts to communicate, we’re helping build the foundations for speech, language, attention, social connection and emotional development.

It’s also important to remember that communication is always a two way process of connection and co-regulation. Some babies can become easily overwhelmed or overstimulated, and in those moments, they may need us to gently do less rather than more. That might look like softening our voice, reducing input, giving them a little space, or simply pausing and waiting for them to come back to the interaction in their own time. Stepping back slightly can actually help them regulate and re-engage when they’re ready.

Try these simple tips at home:

• Get face to face so your baby can see your expressions.

• Follow your baby’s lead and notice what captures their attention.

• Use a warm, animated voice if your baby is enjoying the interaction, but notice if they need things quieter or slower.

• Pause and wait. Those few seconds give your baby space to take their turn.

• If your baby looks away, becomes fussy, or seems overwhelmed, gently reduce stimulation and allow a break before re-connecting.

• Respond to every look, smile, movement and sound as part of the conversation, while respecting when they’re signaling they need a pause.

You don’t need expensive toys or planned activities to support communication. Some of the most powerful moments happen during everyday interactions, with your face, your voice and your responsive presence.

Every interaction matters & all communication is valid and important 💙.

Wimbledon season is here! 🎾💚

Live sport isn’t just a treat for the family, it’s a brilliant, low-pressure way to build your child’s language skills together.

Watching a match with your little one? Try this:
- learn new vocabulary together (rally, volley, ace)
- predict what’ll happen next (who do you think will win this point)
- describe the actions as they unfold
- spot how the players are feeling (frustrated, focused, happy)

Everyday moments build powerful communication skills. We’d 40-LOVE to hear what you discover!

What a day at Communication Works, 2026! 💛

Hosted by and it was a brilliant celebration of assistive technology in education, and the people whose lives it changes.

We were lucky enough to hear from:
• AAC advocate and proud mum to her son, Ethan, sharing her family’s powerful journey with AAC.
• Charlton Manor Primary on transforming learning in their first year with CENMAC
• Middle Park Primary on their whole-school approach to assistive technology
• The deeply moving “Just Because I Can’t Talk, Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Understand” session - a posthumous tribute to the incredible Harchie, presented by his dad .matters
• Charlie Danger & Luke Thompson from on going beyond eye-gaze, and matching students to the right access methods

The student presenters absolutely stole the show - their confidence and insight was incredible to witness! Plus a very fun raffle full of brilliant prizes to round things off.

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special- speakers, organisers, and the wonderful AT community!
