Caleb has been amazing in our school. He gives “whole school” ideas and has developed our 3Tier access model for Speech, Language and Communication. Caleb has been so helpful for staff with his ideas and fits in really well with all of our students.
We couldn’t ask for a better SaLT provider and are really pleased.
I would recommend Magic Words to every school as the service is straight to the point, no nonsense and results happen quickly.

“At Daubeney Academy we recognise the need for expert assessment and intervention to support our students with Speech, Language and Communication Needs. As a result we have worked closely and successfully with Magic Words colleagues for a number of years.
Their involvement in our students' growth and development has been significant and covers a vast range of areas of need including those beyond the perimeters of core intervention.
Our students respond well and feel supported, developing trusting, positive relationships with the therapist. As a staff body we benefit from the expert advice and collaborative working relationships we develop and our learning support team feel empowered to deliver interventions that are guided by her.
We consider our investment in the services of Magic Words to be invaluable.”

I work in a mainstream school with a specialist deaf provision and have had the privilege of working with Elen over the last few years. It is difficult to put into words just how amazing she is and has been and the positivity and support she brings to our team, both children and staff. She promotes inclusivity in a unique and neurodiverse affirming way and has been pivotal in supporting the speech and language development of our deaf children. As well as helping our mainstream staff implement strategies, such as visual coding, to support all children.

“Fabulous team who supported my son through several years at secondary school. So helpful and created meaningful, engaging sessions for him. His stammer improved dramatically and he now has the tools to course correct on the occasions he is disfluent. Also, his confidence grew which also helped so much overall. Big thank you!”
— Claire, Parent
Working with Magic Words has been easy and impactful. Our therapist is highly skilled in her field and always willing to support, guide and advise as needed. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always flexibility to respond to the needs of the school at a given time. I wouldn’t change them as a provider and look forward to continuing to build our relationship.

“I would like to comment on the wonderful service that Lizzie Leusink continues to provide for our children with Speech and Language needs. She has been an amazing asset and I just wanted to share with you how happy we are with Lizzie. She feels very much part of our KGS team. She is extremely thorough and has already made positive links with some of the parents, which sometimes can be difficult to connect with.
Thank you once again for having such fantastic staff members.”

We're lucky to have Katie working with us!”

“We’re thrilled with Jasmine! She has been so thorough and really accommodating/flexible. Her reports seem much more detailed and informative than previous ones which has really helped staff as well as parents. She also manages to see many more children during a Wednesday, which again has been so helpful for us. We love having her, thank you so much!”
— Assistant Head Teacher, Oldbrook First School and Nursery
“I continue to find the service you provide both professional and supportive for the staff and students. I am greatly appreciative of the additional work you are putting in to support exam access arrangements for students who are receiving speech and language support regarding modified papers.”
– SENCo, Walton High
“We continue to be very pleased with the support and work that Kate carries out at New Chapter. Over the years our procedures and systems with her have continued to improve and this has supported both school staff as well as Kate herself. I meet her as and when we feel it is required and she is always open and honest about what she is planning, but will also accept suggestions of ways forward etc. Kate makes herself available to all staff should they have queries and her reports are written in a timely manner. She is very much a part of the New Chapter team and we very much hope to have her with us for the foreseeable future.”
— Rachael, Assistant Headteacher and SENCo
