Teachers

Speech, language and communication skills are vital for all children. Without these skills they will not reach their full potential. Teaching staff have a very important role to play in supporting all children’s speech and language development, and identifying when they might be having difficulty. We provide lots of advice here about providing communication supportive environments for children. 1 in 10 children have speech, language and communication needs, so all teachers need to understand how to best support these children.
