Supporting Children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)

What can you do to support the children who are coming in to your schools and nurseries with poor speech and language? What are  some of the impacts of speech and language difficulties upon those children? What is the relationship between communication difficulties, poor self-esteem and behavioural problems?

This one day workshop explores some of these questions and suggests practical, accessible and effective ways to provide support for the children in your care.

Topics covered:

• The prevalence of SLCN
• The impacts of SLCN
• The complexity of speech and language and where problems can arise
• Effective ways to support children with SLCN
