We want every child under the age of 5 who lives in the Bradford district to have the chance to be the best communicator or talker that they can be - giving them the best start in life.

More language options for this video will be available on our YouTube Talking Bradford playlist (including BSL and Bradford community languages).

As many as 1 in 10 children may have speech, communication and language needs, but as parents and carers there is so much you are already doing, or can do to support your child.

We want the "Pathway" to be your map, your guide to what the Bradford district has to offer to support your child.

We asked parents and they had so many questions about their child's talking. We are going to help you answer these questions by sharing videos, tips and ideas of what you can try yourself, and where you could go to find out more.

Talking Bradford resources

You can find posters, guides, promotional materials and lots more in our resources section

Bradford Information Disability Services have a wealth of specialist toys and resources that children with disabilities or their parents can borrow to take home for a period of time to play with whilst developing skills and learning through play.

Specialist toys like these are costly and without this service many children would miss out, below is a photo catalogue of some of the toys that are available to loan. We are always looking to expand our stock and welcome any enquiries or suggestions.

If you have a child within the Bradford area that has a disability and would like to arrange to borrow some toys please contact our office using the Contact page or call 01274 365463 to speak to a member of our team.

Play is a fantastic way to increase exposure to food and build positive food experiences. Resistant eaters can benefit from contact with food in ways unrelated to mealtimes. Creating positive food experiences without the pressure of eating can slowly increase your child’s confidence with different textures and sensory experiences.
