Chatterbox Club
Occurs one Saturday morning a month between 9am-12pm!
A family social occasion providing the opportunity for children to meet with others of a similar age for group speech therapy. Sessions are delivered by qualified speech and language therapists who have specialist training in the specific communication needs of people who have Down’s syndrome.
If you do not enroll for the SLT sessions, you are welcome to join us for all the other activities, coffee and a chat. If you would like more information about Chatterbox, email contact@dsmanchester.org.uk

“It’s nice to come to a group that you feel you can relax with your child and their siblings because they are totally accepted and their challenges are warmly welcomed. The fact that you can have a drink, delicious snacks, share fun with other families plus help your children, do activities, crafts, play with great toys, plus do yoga, signing and also have access to excellent speech therapists is priceless. Finally, having the opportunity to attend training events is invaluable. Supports us in life and has been totally amazing!”
