    Oct 23 2025

    Dr Shaddai Tembo and Louisa Reeves tackle the understanding of speech and language development and provide practical strategies for teachers, including training opportunities available to them.

    Shaddai and Louisa discuss how hard it is to develop oracy skills and look at the intersection of language, behaviour and mental health. Louisa references statistics on who is facing challenges and the pair touch on the role of social media, influenced by adult behaviours too.

    Oct 16 2025

    In this episode, Dr Shaddai Tembo and Louisa Reeves, discuss the different types of speech and language challenges. Louisa shares how a child’s upbringing can affect their early communication experiences and touches on how speech and language challenges can be prevented.
