• supports parents and carers with coffee mornings and workshops, both online and in schools
• can also offer individual support to families to enable the family to learn supportive strategies to support their child’s language development 
• provides training and workshops for parents, carers, and staff such as Makaton, which is a language programme that uses signs and symbols to help people communicate
