Support all children's speech, language and communication development throughout your setting.

All children develop differently, but ages and stages give you a good guide to typical development.

We have some great factsheets from Talking Point, I CAN and Afasic for you to print off and give to parents.

If you've got a specific question, we can help.
Use this tool to get the answers to your questions.

Check the speech and language development of a child with this progress checking tool.

Early Years Practitioners

Speech, language and communication skills are vital for all children. Without these skills they will not reach their full potential. Early Years practitioners are crucial to supporting children, and identifying when they might be having difficulty. 1 in 10 children have speech, language and communication needs, so all early years workers need to understand how to better support these children.
