Speech and Language Therapists work in schools with children, teachers and parents to try to help children and young people make the most of their communication skills and to provide a positive communication environment. Currently three Speech and Language Therapists work with Clifton Primary School.

Speech and Language Therapists support children at Clifton Primary School in many different areas, including:

• Attention and listening
• Understanding of language
• Expressive language (vocabulary / grammar / sentence formation)
• Non-verbal language
• Articulation / speech sounds
• Social use of language

We work with children in your school in a range of different ways including;

• Observing in class
• Completing assessment to find out more about your child’s needs
• Meet with parents, teachers and teaching assistants to find out more about your child’s communication skills
• Set up one to one or small group interventions to develop your child’s skills
• Provide advice and training to teaching staff and parents

If you have any questions or concerns about your child communication skills you can contact Miss Corrigan at school.
