We're busy planning for our Autumn TalkAbility course. If you are interested in learning about ways to help your child's communication and social interaction skills please give us a call. Hanen TalkAbility is a Speech & Languge Therapy programme for parents of verbal children with ASD. Give Charlotte or Jane a call to find out more and book your place.

Our next TalkAbility course is due to commence in March. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this programme.
