Description
Communication at the Heart of the School offers a practical approach to communication development in schools, with a focus on children with Severe Learning Difficulties or Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties. The framework provides a shared approach to communication development between teachers and speech and language therapists, moving through three crucial stages: assessment, pathway, and classroom environment.
The resource provides a clear structure for the role of each professional and explains how they contribute to every aspect of the child's communication development. It includes photocopiable and downloadable assessment forms for accurately measuring outcomes, and is underpinned by the Communication and Cognitive Framework currently used by teachers, speech and language therapists, and families.
This guide is an essential tool for speech and language therapists and teachers supporting children communicating at early developmental levels, offering a complete package of communication support.
