Siarad Da CIC
Siarad Da is a non profit making organisation, founded by Dr April May Kitchener as a response to a demand for specialist training.
Siarad Da’s critical aim is to promote understanding and awareness of the hidden disability that many people live with, particularly those in our CJS or experiencing school and social exclusion. Receptive, expressive and pragmatic language disorders impact on all aspects of a person’s life, often presenting as challenging and inappropriate behaviour. We support:
– professionals to develop extra tools that will enable them to be more effective in their communication and management of clients
– individuals struggling to appropriately express their needs and to support them to better understand consequences and expectations
– families to better understand the difficulties of loved ones, providing help and guidance to put in place strategies to use in their homes to develop clear communication
