Introduction to Communication with SEND Children - Online Course - Family Learning - 13:00-14:30

About this course

This course is designed to give anyone who has children or who works or comes into contact with SEND children, an overview of different communication strategies. They will have a greater understanding of what provisions could be used for children with communication difficulties at home and school.

• Discussing what communication difficulties can involve – it’s not just about not being able to talk. 
• Discussing how early communication can be aided and the acquisition of language. 
• Discussing early support which can be accessed 
• Thinking about EAL children, those coming into the country and learning English and those with multiple languages bring spoken at home 
• Looking at resources available to help 
• Discussing specific communication difficulties: speech, ASC, hearing impairment, physical difficulties
