We are delighted that once again, the Summer School Transition Courses were a great success in 2023. Courses took place throughout England and Wales in ten different locations, including Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Manchester.
Most courses took place in schools with one or two being held online. 115 children benefited from attending courses along with many parents, who chose to attend a Parent Workshop. Topics the children covered included:
- Independence skills
- Problem solving
- Asking for help
- Social interaction and making friends
- Managing a new environment
Many thanks to our course coordinator Tia Papoutselou, the Speech and Language Therapists, School Staff and wonderful Volunteers without whom these courses could not take place.
A big thank you also to everybody who helped to fund the 2023 courses particularly The Weinstock Fund, The Four Acre Trust and our Afasic Supporters and Donors.
We are constantly looking for new schools and hope that any SLTs, SendCo’s, Teachers or Teaching assistants that are reading this will consider delivering courses in their region.
