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.
