Information Evening: Weaning
This event is for parents/carers of a child born with a cleft lip and/or palate in the United Kingdom.
Join us for ‘Babble Play Skills’ on Tuesday 24th February at 10am (Zoom).
Please read all the information below before registering.
CLAPA are delighted to be running another Babble Play Skills session with Cleft Specialist Speech and Language Therapists.
This session is tailored to those born with a cleft palate as this is what can affect speech development. However you are still welcome to join if your child was born with a cleft lip only to learn general speech development skills. You are welcome to join with or without your child/ren. Grandparents and other key care providers are also more than welcome to join.
Lisa, Helene and Rhian will share sound and babble play techniques, and have written two books to encourage modelling sounds throughout the day and incorporating them into your daily activities in order to facilitate your child’s speech sound development. The Sound We Found can be found here and The Sound We See can be found here.
