About Chatterboxes

Chatterboxes is an independent speech and language therapy service offering assessments, one-to-one therapy, training and resources for education settings.

The team supports children in schools across Birmingham and the West Midlands and is expanding its nationwide offer through the Speech and Language Scheme.

The Speech and Language Scheme

Designed by an experienced paediatric speech and language therapist with more than ten years’ experience in schools, the Scheme gives staff a structured, practical and scalable system they can use confidently without needing to be speech and language therapists.

It includes:

A year-long roadmap
Consistent classroom strategies
Targeted interventions designed by a speech and language therapist
Classroom trackers and progress spreadsheets
Ready-to-use activities that reduce intervention planning time

Three versions are available:

Primary schools: Years 1–6
Early Years: nurseries, Reception and pre-schools
Resource bases

A trust licence is also available for multi-school use, supporting a centralised SEND strategy and cost-effective scaling.

What schools say

“Every classroom needs one of these. It’s brilliant!” “It’s an SLT in a box.” “Children are making real progress.” “We’re really pleased with how it is going. The service is having an impact and the list is getting smaller.”
