Communication Survey

Please find above the link for the Communication Board Survey. This survey provides helpful feedback on ways to improve our board and aid your child’s communication at home and within the ECC so if you have a few minutes spare I would appreciate your participation. Thank you to the 36 people who have replied already. This survey is completely anonymous.

Communication Board update

This week our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Twinkle, Twinkle Little star and our Makaton signs are star and sky please see the board for a demonstration of each sign these signs will change weekly. Newly added to our board is a yellow recordable disk which will be used to record different children reciting the Nursery Rhyme of the week please press the black button to hear these rhymes. We would appreciate if you could reinforce the Nursery Rhyme and Makaton at home as this aids communication and language skills. Our top tip is still regarding watching TV and will change every two weeks. I have added a flyer about the Speech and Language Therapy Facebook page which can be found by searching Speech and Language Therapy East Ayrshire here you can find info, resources and tips to use with your child please take a look.
