✨ Welcome to the Community! (Please Read & Introduce Yourself)
👋 I’m so glad you’re here. This space is for parents who want practical tools, encouragement, and connection as we support our little ones’ communication together. 💛 A Quick Reminder: by being part of this community, you agree to the group rules (you’ll find them in the full Start Here module). Please take a few minutes to watch that module after you read this — it covers everything you need to know. Here’s How to Get Started: 1. Introduce yourself → Share one thing your child communicated recently (a look, a sound, a gesture — big or small). 2. Engage → Like, comment, and support others. Connections start right here in this group. 3. Explore the chat topics when you leave a comment: - 💭 Reflections & Suggestions — Share what you’ve noticed, or ideas you’d love to see here. - 🎉 Little Wins — Celebrate every step forward (no win is too small). - 📝 Practice Corner — Reflections on weekly homework and strategies. - 👋 General Discussion — Casual chat and off-topic bits. - ❓ Questions for Carolyn — Ask me directly. - 💬 Live Q&A — Post questions before the monthly Q&A and share takeaways after. Beyond the Community: 📚 Check out our Classroom where you can stack useful habits one by one to support your little one's communication progress. 📅 Monthly Live Q&As on Zoom (don’t miss these!) Check the Calendar tab for our once-a-month live sessions. Add them to your diary and drop any questions in Live Q&A ahead of time. This community only works when people share their reflections and lift each other up. I’m looking forward to your thoughts, wins, and questions — jump in and say hello! ➡️ Then when you’re ready, head over to the Classroom and start with the Start Here module.

✨Bonus: Don't Forget about the Q&A Replays!
Check out the recording from the 14th May where we cover types of play, and how to make the most of play, no matter what stage your child is at. Play and communication are linked: when one progresses or changes, so does the other, so learning all about play can help you to support your child and potentially expand their horizons! 📌 Follow the link below to watch the Replay ⤵️ https://www.skool.com/connection-kickstart-6865/classroom/075b5550?md=33b170bf2a7942c7a8a1293649ecb77b
Food for Thought 💭
Halfway through the IASLT conference in Portlaoise, I found myself reflecting on how much our understanding of communication and support has evolved since I first started practising over 30 years ago. There was a huge focus throughout the day on co-production, inclusion, accessibility, and ensuring that the people we support, along with their families, are genuinely involved in shaping decisions around care and communication. One of the strongest messages I took away was the importance of listening carefully to how each individual communicates, helping others to recognise that communication can take many different forms, and making space for people to express themselves in ways that work for them. It was also incredibly encouraging to see the level of innovation happening across the profession while still keeping the human side of care firmly at the centre. These were some of my thoughts midway through the first day.
