SEND

Speech & Language Therapy

Speech and language skills are the fundamental building blocks of child development. When children struggle with communication, it can have a lifelong impact on their learning and future success.

With high aspirations for all children, our speech and language therapy support schools with the speech, language and communication needs of pupils.

We can support schools with all their Speech and Language Therapy needs. We use an integrated and holistic approach to develop the right interventions at the right time.

Our therapists will meet and work with the SENDCo to develop an action plan to best meet your school’s needs. We will identify the support needed at the universal, targeted, and specific level.

Universal Support

Our Universal Support is designed to support quality first teaching across the whole school. Our speech and language therapy team will equip your staff with the tools to create communication-friendly classrooms and settings, with the potential of qualifying for the Elklan Communication Friendly Settings Award.

We will also carry out language screening to identify pupils who may benefit from further support. Alternatively, we can deliver training to staff, giving them the confidence to carry out screening independently.

Targeted Support

Support your learners with high-quality interventions, designed to make a lasting impact. Targeted support can be delivered by one of our Speech & Language Therapists, or we can train a member of staff. Our experts will set clear goals and provide resources, actively participating in co-delivery where appropriate.

By continuously monitoring progress, we will ensure that interventions are effective and evolving, propelling pupils towards success.

Specific Support

Drawing on our expertise, we will carry out assessments and develop tailored treatment programmes for pupils who require specific support. This may include direct therapy, indirect therapy, in-class strategies, as well as home support.

Securing an EHCP can be a complex process, but our therapists can support you along the way. We can provide detailed reports for statutory assessment, laying the groundwork for a successful application. Plus, we can provide reports for annual reviews and TAC meetings, facilitating meaningful discussions and informed decision-making. We may also attend where appropriate, sharing our expertise to develop positive solutions.
