Friday the 16th of March was the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence in Australia. Poor social problem-solving skills are a common characteristic of bullies, and we know that children with communication problems are more likely to be bullied. Speech pathologists can help – got 5 minutes? Then check out the link!

ARE YOU INTERESTED? SCHOOL HOLIDAYS TEXT WRITING PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS IN YEARS 4-6
Understanding and using text and developing good written language skills are essential for learning in a classroom. This program is ideal for students in Years 4-6 to help them:
• understand text types
• use text types
• complete written language tasks
We deliver support in a small group (3-4 students) to teach them how to plan, organise and edit their writing. Sessions will be completed on site at Signs and Sounds in Marrickville.
Your child does NOT have to be a current client of Signs and Sounds. Sessions will be conducted for 1 hour each day from Tuesday – Friday of the first week of the April school holidays (time of sessions to be confirmed).
Cost = $50-$60 per session (Total program fee = $200-$240) depending on the amount of interest and size of the groups.
Please note that Medicare, private health and third party funding (such as NDIS) may be claimed for these sessions and that the cost does not include any reports or individual assessments.
If you would like to register your interest, please email your child’s name and grade by the 18th of March 2018 to: signsandsounds@hotmail.com
We’re here to help!
