ABC Groups
Reid Memorial Church, West Savile Terrace, Edinburgh
Achieving Better Communication Groups runs every Friday during term-time. ABC groups are held from 9:30 to 4 pm, with each group lasting between 50 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the group and the individual needs of the children. A parent or carer must attend with the child and is asked to join group activities. The cost is £6 a week per child or £3 for those on lower income/benefits.
The group provides advice to parents and activities for children to develop speech, language and communication skills.
