Sign-A-Long

There are regular Sign-A-Long Sessions for Parents / Carers run by the Speech & Language Therapists, free of charge, at Beatlie School.  If sign-a-long is something you are interested in learning about and how this could benefit your child visit the Sign-a-long Website at http://www.signalong.org.uk

Sign-a-long are currently offering 27 free signs for you to  take a look at and explore.  If you are interested and feel you would benefit from a Speech and Language Therapists guidance in: learning the correct hand formations, how to introduce Sign-a-Long to your child or feel you would benefit with additional signs specific to child’s interests,  please speak to your Speech and Language Therapist or PSHTS Key-Worker about how to access Sign-A-Long Sessions.

To our amazing parent community,

First of all, we hope that you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe indoors during this difficult time. 

We’ve heard from many of you over the last few weeks that you could use some support with keeping your little ones occupied and learning, and taking care of your own wellbeing during this isolation period at home. So we worked with our content partners at Peeple (peeple.org.uk) to create the Home Learning Programme- daily research-based activities that’ll help you keep your little ones occupied and learning, and take care of your own wellbeing. 

The programme is now available when you update the Devie app via the App store or Google Play store! We’d love for you to give the programme a try and tell us what you think, and how we can further support you during this time. 

Take care, stay safe and indoors, and as always, don’t hesitate to contact me directly if there are ways we can support you better. 

Love,

Puja and the Devie Team

Tips and Hints for surviving lockdown

Just a little reminder that as well as posting activities and information, parents and carers can contact us direct with any queries or just for a chat – our mobiles are at the ready!

We would also love to hear of any ‘tips & hints’ you might have for surviving lockdown with little ones!  If you have found any strategies that work for you that might be useful to others; it would be great to share ideas!

We look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Stay home, Stay safe, Stay well!
