Talk



'Talk' was established to support children with communicational and behavioral problems through a unique programme created by Anna Gilsenan.


'Talk' offers consultations for parents, one-to-one language courses for bilingual students, and workshops for children with additional needs in the Bundoran area.


Anna's Book Club Friends provides an opportunity for children to have fun exploring, discussing, reading a complete book and improving social skills.


We believe that children learn best when they are engaged in activities that are functional and motivating and that collaboration with family members and other professionals is key to the development of a child's full potential.


‘Talk’ provides classes on the principle that motivation is a significant contributing factor to a child's ability to learn and develop new skills. We believe that through play a child develops new skills by way of observation, exploration, imitation, interaction and discovery.​ Play also provides an opportunity for a child to develop the key foundation skills necessary to develop speech and language.


Early intervention has a significant impact on your child's future. If you are concerned about your child's development, schedule your consultation today.
