Listen To Parents

Parents raising children with speech and language and sensory difficulties face incredible challenges daily. There’s very little effective support available online for parents experiencing these challenges, which is why Karen created the Opening Your Mind© series.

The Child Development Centre provides highly effective programmes and therapies to families all over the world. Based on over twenty years experience combining speech & language therapy approaches with up-to-the-minute sensory integrative techniques we watch children make incredible improvements over a short period of time. We know there are so many more families out there who can’t access this kind of resource, and we want to help.
