This video was developed as part of the Talking Buddies project, which is supported by a team of two Speech and Language Therapists, Maria Bracken and Katie Walsh. Talking Buddies aims to promote, educate, coach and mentor the communities within Laois and Offaly about language development and the importance of reading aloud with babies and children.
