Story

We are Speech and Language UK -- we want every child to face the future with confidence. 1.9 million children are estimated to be behind with their talking and understanding of words. Without the right help, this can destroy their world. They feel disconnected from their family. Unable to make friends. Unfairly punished for not following instructions they don't understand. What does the future hold for them?

We must reach children earlier, to make sure every child has the skills to face the future. We're designing innovative tools and training for thousands of nursery staff and teachers. We're giving families the confidence and skills to help their child. And we're putting pressure on politicians to prioritise support for children.

Too many children are left waiting to be understood. Help us bring speech and language skills into the spotlight so they can all flourish.
