Review: “My immediate reaction to flicking through this book…is that this book just gets it. As both a parent and a student speech and language therapist, I find it mind boggling that these terms can be so hard to understand and explain to our children. But this book does a fantastic job!” #dld

Government's "solutions" for the speech and language crisis in the SEND system simply don't fit the scale of need! Children with speech and language challenges need far more than limited programme expansions (with less funding, at that!) – they need long-term investment and system-wide reform!
