SCHOOLS
As a Head, Teacher, SENCo or Head of Inclusion in a school or nursery, you undoubtedly feel under pressure to make sure all the children you care for are able to thrive at school.
It is so important for the children themselves, as well as for the reputation of your school, and that can feel quite a responsibility!
why you need expert support
Around 7% of children aged about five years old have specific speech and language impairment and a further 1.8% have speech, language and communication needs linked to other conditions such as learning disability, cerebral palsy or autism (source: RCSLT).
Using a targeted and specialist approach, we will partner with you in order to make sure that children who need additional help have the highest chances of seeing improvements in communication and interaction.
Typically three children in every class of 30 need professional support from a Speech and Language Therapist.
Two of them may have no identified reason for their language difficulties.
As an educational professional you know that if children can receive SLT on site in their normal school or nursery setting, they are more likely to develop language skills that directly translate into improved literacy, learning and communication in the classroom.
