Ideas for activities
Paediatric occupational therapists and speech and language therapists, in partnership with Bedford and Luton Parent Carer forums, have created a film full of ideas of activities for families and services working with children. The aim is to support and promote children in developing use of their hands and independence skills and their speech, language and social skills in preparation for school and a good foundation for life.
