The tried-and-tested framework offers a shared approach to communication development between teachers and speech and language therapists, moving through three crucial stages: the communication assessment, the communication pathway and the classroom environment. It provides a clear structure for the role of each professional and explains how they contribute to every aspect of the child's communication development. Key features include: A communication pathway that follows a yearly cycle of assessment, plan and intervention, identifying specific communication needs and offering advice on creating communication-friendly environments A focus on the shared vision of teachers and SaLTs, creating a united and team-led approach to communication development, ensuring that both therapists and teachers feel supported in tackling complex communication challenges effectively; Photocopiable and downloadable assessment forms for accurately measuring outcomes in a time-friendly and accessible way Underpinned by the Communication and Cognitive Framework currently used by teachers, SaLTs and families, this resource offers a complete package of communication support.
