Skills in Depth: Promoting speech, language and literacy  from birth to 5 years

The Skills in Depth - Promoting speech, language and literacy from birth to 5 years training course aims to help parents and professionals support the speech, language and literacy development of young children with Down syndrome.


Audience

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

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 interventions 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 children with Down syndrome.
