We believe effective communication skills are vital for success - socially, educationally and in the workplace. At Speech Quest our aim is to help parents to identify and boost their young children's speech, language and communication skills through parent questionnaires, assessments and activity programmes. Our programmes are full of practical advice and activities to support children's communication skills from the age of 6 months to 5 years.

Here is the summary from a review of Speech Quest by Speech and Language Therapy In Practice magazine Spring 2011 Issue:
the degree of advice and information provided in such an interactive and user friendly manner offers good value for money. The website covers an impressive breadth of information, empowering the parent/carer to affect positive changes in their child. Speech Quest is a well thought out, thorough and educational website which provides appropriate signposting and functional, practical advice to its target client group.

Here is what Kashani Wijetunga had to say about the progress of her son Che':
I am finding your site and services fantastic and find that after an initial period of familiarisation with the activities, they become very easy and also very adaptable into ones routines. Che' is at nursery for 2 days a week so I have taken the record sheets and some of the activities and asked his nursery teachers to do the same. They have even started incorporating the mealtime exercises for all of the kids so that Che' doesn't feel he is singled out.
I have found that his results over the last month have been so much better than the progress he was making 3-4 months before he started this course.
Although Che' seems reluctant to actually speak and form words (his comprehension of complex instructions is extremely good), over the last few weeks he is actually starting to experiment with non-intelligible sounds and words, which is very rewarding!
We look forward to seeing more progress & thank you very much for your help.
Here is what Mrs. C, from Sheffield had to say:
Just to let you know that we are Alice's grandparents and help with childcare duties, together with her other set of grandparents.
We are ordering the activities on behalf of our son and his wife and are all very much looking forward to starting the activities with her as soon as possible and as advised in Alice's assessment ensuring that we are 'all singing from the same hymn sheet'.
I would also like to commend you on the format of the Questionnaire which was very simple to follow, very thorough and confirmed our own observations by putting them into context in an easy to understand way.
We can't wait to get started and see how Alice progresses.
