Targeted and specialist support for children with S&L challenges

This session for primary will delve into targeted and specialist support for children with speech and language challenges.

Without the right support, children who have challenges talking and understanding words face huge hurdles in literacy, learning, having good mental health, and making friends. This session will delve into a range of targeted approaches for supporting children with speech and language challenges and consider how to implement these in a mainstream classroom.

At this session you will: 

  • Become familiar with a variety of ways to adapt teaching, differentiate learning and use targeted strategies in the classroom to support children with speech and language challenges
  • Consider how to implement strategies to support children with challenges in a variety of areas, including attention and listening, understanding, expressive language/talking, social communication and speech
  • Consider some ways to apply a neurodiversity-affirming framework to support for children with speech and language challenges
  • Learn how to work with others to support children with speech and language challenges, including with specialist support

 

Suitable for: Primary teachers. This session would also be useful for support staff. 

This session will be recorded and available for 14 days. If you are unable to attend at this time, sign up as normal to receive the recording link. This will be sent by email the day after the webinar.
