COMMUNICATE SLT CIC Competitors

Communication Matters aims to increase understanding, awareness and knowledge of the needs of people with communication disabilities that would benefit from or use other ways of speaking (AAC = Augmentative and alternative ways of communicating). We run national events, study days and an annual conference as well as supplying information in all forms through our website and leaflets (www.communicationmatters.org.uk).

The Communication Trust is a coalition of over 50 not-for-profit organisations. Working together we support everyone who works with children and young people in England to support their speech, language and communication. Our work focuses on supporting children and young people who struggle to communicate because they have speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) as well as supporting all children and young people to communicate to the best of their ability. To find out more about us and to access our resources please visit our website at www.thecommunicationtrust.org.uk.

I CAN is the UK’s leading children's communication charity. We exist to help the million-plus children in the UK who are struggling with speaking and understanding language right now. Each year we design programmes that support more than 15,000 children and we train over 6,000 people who work with children to develop their speaking and understanding. Our two outstanding schools help children with the biggest communication barriers to overcome them. We support families to develop their child’s speaking and understanding, and we push for the government to change policies to improve the life chances for children who struggle with their speaking and understanding.
