SEND: Speech Language and Communication Needs

Preparation for IPE day in January

In January you will be attending a workshop at De Montfort University to work alongside their Speech and Language Therapy students.

You will work collaboratively to understand the role of the speech and language therapist in supporting children in school, as well as other professionals who may be involved in a child’s development.

You will receive input from a school SENDco who will explain the process behind the involvement of outside agencies, as well as the support that they can offer you in their role.

In preparation for the IPE day, find out how your placement school caters for the needs of children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). You may like to interview the school SENCO and if possible observe teaching and learning strategies that are in place for children with SLCN which may include targeted inventions 1:1 and in small groups.
