Help Kids Talk

Help Kids Talk Partnership project in NI. Passionate about early intervention to support speech & language skills. We are also in the process of developing further training.

Help Kids Talk is a community wide initiative based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. It is led by Early Intervention Lisburn and the South Eastern HSC Trust and funded by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. It was officially launched in March 2020 after a 7 year journey. The initiative aims to:
•Help children and young people be the best they can be.
•Make children’s development in speech, language

& communication everyone’s responsibility.
•And to make a difference to children’s lives together. Our 12 key messages are delivered every month through Facebook, Instagram & Twitter as guidance to parents, caregivers and those working with children to support children’s communication development. We run Basic Awareness Training webinars on monthly basis - these are free and available to both parents and practitioners across Northern Ireland. The ICAN Early Talk Boost programme is available in playgroups and nurseries in Lisburn and the ICAN Talk Boost programme is available in most primary schools in Lisburn. For more information send us a direct message or contact us via email.
