On Monday, Elizabeth did a review of my posts over the last year. You can read that post here. Today, it’s my turn to review her posts from the last year. We write a lot of reviews on the blog, of apps and games and books and occasionally courses. It’s always good to get information […]
This time last year, Elizabeth and I were thrilled to become regular columnists on the fantastic Special Needs Jungle website. On the off-chance that you haven’t already come across this website, do go take a look at the wealth of information about anything and everything to do with SEN. In particular, if you need advice […]
A few weeks ago I answered some frequently asked questions about a toddler who is slow to start talking. You can read that post here. I talked about what to expect, when to be concerned and what to expect from a speech and language therapy assessment. However, I thought today I would talk about what […]

Helen and I have been lucky enough to use a number of apps from Therapy Box. They are always well designed and versatile. You can read our reviews of the Sort It Out and Minimal Pairs apps on our blog. You can see all the Therapy box apps on their website. Therapy Box also offers training […]
We have put quite a few app reviews on this blog, and many of them are really great apps which I love. If you have an iPad which you ever use in therapy, make sure you read this review as we both absolutely love this app! Elizabeth and I were lucky enough to be contacted […]
