We give children and young people the skills they need so they aren't left behind, waiting to be understood. 

We do this by creating tools for schools and nurseries, giving advice and guidance to families and putting pressure on politicians. 

For 1.7 million children in the UK, learning to talk and use words feels like an impossible hurdle. ​Without the right help, this can destroy their world. They feel disconnected from their family. Unable to make friends. Unfairly punished for not following instructions they don’t understand. What does the future hold for them?

We must help more children , so that every child has the skills to face the future.
