Skills in Depth: Promoting speech, language and literacy across the curriculum from 5 to 11 years (key stages 1 and 2)

The Skills in Depth - Promoting speech, language and literacy training course aims to help parents and professionals support the speech, language and literacy development of children with Down syndrome.

Audience

This is a one-day training course for teachers, teaching and support assistants, Special Educational Needs Coordinators, advisory teachers and parents.

We also run an Issues in Depth training course on Speech and Language Development for qualified Speech and Language Therapists.

Aims

The course aims to provide the practical knowledge and skills necessary to enable participants to successfully plan, develop and deliver teaching programmes to teach reading and writing, and to incorporate goals into the curriculum for all aspects of speech and language development.

Much of the course content will be equally relevant for working with other children with learning disabilities and/or speech and language delay, in addition to pupils with Down syndrome.
