Our purpose is to provide a quality Speech and Language Therapy Service to all children attending special schools in the Ealing borough. We aim to share our specialist knowledge with parents, educational staff and other health professionals to meet the communication and feeding needs of this population.
What does the provision involve?
For all children, speech and language development happens during everyday activities, throughout the day with different people. The role of the SLT is to give advice and to support parents and staff to help them develop children’s communication throughout the day. The SLT will help parents and staff to find opportunities and effective ways to help a child develop understanding and communication.
The child may be receiving all the necessary support through the curriculum and from the teachers, and additional input from the SLT may not be needed.
What do parents/ carers need to do?
In order for your child to make progress we need to work as a team. Therefore your active involvement in following recommendations at home is crucial. Please let the SLT know of any concerns you have. They will be happy to discuss them with you and together you can find a solution.
How will parents be kept updated?
