‘‘Speech, Language and Communication without Speech, Language and Communication without question, is key to learning’question, is key to learning’
(Boyer 1991)(Boyer 1991)
10% of children – that’s two to three in every UK classroom – have some form of long term communication difficulty that can affect them early, severely and for life.
There is a window of opportunity to learn language. By 6yrs old it gets harder to learn these skills.
The majority of 7 year olds with speech, language and communication difficulties won’t catch up.
Reasons to prioritise communication
It doesn’t happen by accident.You can make a difference.It is important to know what happens and when.Talking and listening is key.The earlier we help the better.
