The sponsored challenge, which is taking place from February 6 to 12, encourages thousands of children to perform a song, rhyme, story, or poem at their playgroup or nursery in aid of charity I Can which provides therapy and education for youngsters with communication disabilities.

The Chatterbox Challenge aims to promote learning and social development through singing and talking.....

.....I CAN uses a combination of specialist therapy and education to help children with the most severe and complex disabilities as well as providing information for parents and training for teachers and other professionals.
