Speech, language and communication skills are vital for all children. Without these skills they will not reach their full potential. Health visitors are in a unique position to be able to identify when they might be having difficulty. 1 in 10 children have speech, language and communication needs, so all health visitors need to know what typical development looks like, and be able to spot when something isn’t right.
