We at Words Speech Therapy are thrilled to share the success of our workshop held at Sunshine Preschool in Kurunagala. Led by our dedicated team members, Buddhima Prasangika Samaraweera, Umesha Prabhashini, and Piyumi Prabuddhika, the event focused on empowering parents and teachers with essential strategies and tools to support their children’s communication development.

The workshop kicked off with a warm welcome from the enthusiastic staff of Sunshine Preschool. Our team introduced the fundamental aspects of early communication skills and the importance of nurturing these skills from a young age.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Sunshine Preschool for hosting us and to all the parents and teachers who participated. Your dedication to the growth and well-being of your children inspires us.

This event is a part of Words Speech Therapy’s ongoing commitment to community education and our belief in the power of communication as a cornerstone of early development. We look forward to continuing our work and impacting more lives positively.

This year, on Autism Awareness Day, we at Words Speech Therapy held a special event that was both meaningful and joyous. Our team came together to raise awareness and spread knowledge about autism in a vibrant and engaging way.

We distributed balloons, each tethered to an informative leaflet about autism. The balloons, in various shades of blue—symbolised the diversity. Each leaflet provided valuable information on understanding autism, supporting those who live with it, and embracing the rich diversity it brings to our lives.

At Words Speech Therapy, we are committed to creating a more inclusive society where every individual, regardless of their differences, is recognised and valued. Autism Awareness Day is a reminder of the strides we still need to make in understanding and acceptance, and we are proud to play a part in this global movement.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this celebration. Your support and curiosity make it possible for us to continue our work in promoting awareness and understanding. Let’s keep the conversation going, not just on Autism Awareness Day, but every day.
