Recommendation 3: Use a more varied approach to Speech and Language Therapy


  • Undertake group speech therapy sessions with parents, which are very useful exercises. It would be even more beneficial if these sessions could be recorded in order to assist parents to identify key areas that they might be having difficulty with.
  • Develop a simple leaflet to give to parents on the development of language and speech, and techniques that they can use to improve.
  • Undertake class group speech therapy sessions using a theme based approach.
  • Encourage early literacy skills and provide parents with the skills to carry this out.
  • Improve lighting in the classrooms and ventilation.
