Welcome to Sunderland Communicates Together video hub - a collection of short, practical videos designed to help families, carers and professionals support children's communication, interaction, and bonding. From sensory play and storytelling to Makaton signing and everyday routines, each video offers simple ideas to bring out skills in children you didn't know were possible. Featuring our Best Start Family Hubs team from Sunderland, these activities are easy to try at home and full of fun!
