Speech and Language Therapy

Our Speech and language therapist works closely with staff, families, pupils, and other supporting therapists to meet the speech, communication, and social skills difficulty needs as per the EHCP requirements of individual pupils. Assessments and staff observations are also used to identify gaps which are then addressed through one-to-one and group sessions. During individual and group sessions, therapists work with pupils to improve their speech, their understanding and use of language, their social skills, and their emotional intelligence.

Our therapist works closely with families and the wider multidisciplinary team through training, advice and sometimes modelling to enable ongoing in-class and home support for pupils. This approach promotes the holistic therapeutic service we aim for as a therapeutic school and prioritizes the development of communication in all areas of the students’ day. Our therapists also contribute to the EHCP, Annual review meetings, and other reports.
