Supporting children through meaningful interaction

“I couldn’t believe how by just playing and following my child’s lead in play for five minutes a day led to him being able to sit and concentrate and finally listen.”

“It is so good to be able to see all the things that are working in what I do to help my child to talk. Keena was able to understand my perspective and then provide theory and information which helped me to understand exactly where my child is in his development of talking and the next stage that is expected.”

“It helped me to see exactly who I am when playing with my child and the little things I do that really help. The whole experience was very interesting and a great learning experience.”

“Watching myself on video was nerve wracking at first, but once I could see what my child was able to do and how he was trying to communicate, it all made so much sense”.

“It felt good to be able to really talk about my child whilst jointly watching them on T.V. I felt that the work we were doing was completely focused on us, not on general ideas. Being listened to and understood was so cathartic”.

“It was so nice to be able to just play and not think about talking. It’s intriguing how talking develops so quickly if as an adult you respond at just the right time”.

“I couldn’t believe how simple the ‘strategies’ were. I was already doing them and didn’t know it”.

“The sessions my son had with Keena were excellent! He really enjoyed them and I learned a lot of useful tips on how best to help him at home. I'm delighted to say that he no longer requires speech therapy and I think that is largely thanks to Keena.”

“Keena had a very good rapport with our son and he really enjoyed working with her. He made excellent progress under her guidance and is now very articulate for a child of his age and has done well at school”.

“We learnt early on that our son had disordered language development and would need support in school on an ongoing basis, but it really helped seeing that we as parents had the skills to support his development, particularly since Keena was able to use the video to explain what his skills were, how he was developing and what I was doing to help”.
