Some of our firsts
One of our mums thought her son would never ever ride a trike and when I showed her the video of him doing this she cried with happiness.
I remember the first time a child spoke by singing 5 Little Ducks. After that, they were
singing the song a hundred times a day and their language continued to develop.
It was so worth it.
I remember when I first started using Signalong when I was working within our Adult’s Service. I used it with a student who was non-verbal, knew some signs but was quite particular over who he communicated with. It was a real ‘yes!’ moment when he signed back the sign for ‘nice’ when I asked him how his lunch was.
