My child was referred to the Home Talk service after his two year check with the Healthly Families Team highlighted a language delay.
The Home Talk worker came to the house to give us strategies and ideas to help support his speech.
As parents we were a little concerned about the development of S. expecially with learning both English and Spanish. The whole Children's Centre team were truly focussed on S. and his development. The Home Talk worker's first visit was amazing and her experience came to the forefront to encourage a little boy in his home to want to engage with parents and herself. Jack the puppet very soon got S. attention and interest which was the start of a wonderful journey. The number of words are now plentiful and stated with confidence. S. loved the puzzles and making playdough mix. S. was upset at the end of the session becuase he had so much fun. I believe that this service must continue and not be subject to cuts.
Home Talk journey is the key to life for all our children.
