Developing Speech Language And Communication Skills In Education What Works And Why

This practical guide equips teachers educators and speech and language therapists who work across the age phases with the knowledge skills and confidence required to fully meet the speech language and communication (SLC) needs of children and young people (CYP). As SLC challenges are increasing among pupils this book links theory to practical aspects of pedagogy guiding readers to consider how to support the CYP they work with in educational settings. It champions a collaborative approach to supporting conditions such as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Autism and others and considers the reasonable adjustments that can be implemented to support all pupils (a ‘universal’ approach). Written by a multi-disciplinary team it embraces sociological educational and medical perspectives encouraging critical thinking and offering a range of case studies that illustrate key strategies and real-world applications as well as signposting practical resources and sources of further support. |Developing Speech Language and Communication Skills in Education What Works and Why
