Language Development

In October 2023, Our Speech and Language Therapist, Kelly Ellis, spoke to us about early speech and language development, what is expected and when. She also talked through some useful strategies for supporting your children.

What should I do if I am concerned about my child's speech and/or language development?

Firstly, you should speak to your child's class teacher to see if they share your concerns. Your child's class teacher may be able to offer some initial advice or reassure you that their difficulties are age appropriate.

If you do want to raise concerns, you can click here to complete a concern form, which will be sent directly to our school Special Educational Needs and Disabilities coordinator (SENCO). The SENCO will then contact you to discuss whether or not your child may benefit from a referral to a speech and language therapist.
