Does your child have difficulties with any of the following?
Understanding spoken language in the classroom or in conversation
Understanding what he / she reads
Understanding the meaning of more abstract words such as words describing time or space
Learning new words, recalling words
Putting words in the right order when explaining or writing
‘Reading between the lines’, not taking things literally
Explaining things by giving the right information in a helpful way
Taking turns in conversation or talking about relevant things
Understanding facial expression, tone of voice, or reading social cues
Joining in with peers or knowing how to communicate in a friendly way
Awareness of the impact of what they say on other people
Pronouncing words or articulating speech sounds
Blending sounds together for reading, and splitting words up for spelling
Speech and Language Therapists can support all of these aspects of communication through developing the child's skills and use of strategies, and advising parents and staff on how to support too. Find out more in our blog.
