Speech, language and communication difficulties
You can expect the teacher within the classroom to make changes to meet needs for every child or young person.
For example:
- seating the child or young person in a place where they can easily see the teachers face
- providing lots of opportunity to speak aloud to others
- giving additional time for the child or young person to speak without feeling rushed
- providing instructions in different ways, for example, written and spoken
- modelling pronunciation and positive listening
The teacher or SENCo may also ask for help from a specialist teacher or a Speech and Language Therapist.
