What will this training session cover? 

Speech is an area that practitioners often ask questions about…. “is that normal”,  “what age do they start using a ‘s’?”, “He doesn’t say his ‘l’ properly, why is that?”​

Well, following this session you will be more confident in understanding what age each sound develops and the skills that are needed to process and produce speech sounds. You will also feel more confident in identifying when children’s speech is not following the expected pattern and when to refer. Finally we will talk about how you can be supporting all children’s speech development.​​

Who is this training session for? 

This session is suitable for all members of the children’s workforce in the borough of Halton, who support children in early years environments including Nursery Practitioners, Childminders, Early Help Officers, members of the Health Visiting Team and such like.
