Aim: This webinar will provide you with expert guidance on identifying and supporting speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in early years settings. Effective and timely support can help promote young children’s overall learning and development and close the attainment gap.

Rationale: SLCN are the most commonly identified special educational needs according to national statistics, and several studies suggest that restrictions necessitated by the pandemic have, in many cases, severely impacted young children’s communication skills. Early years staff can play a vital role in identifying SLCN and providing the right kind of support, enhancing outcomes both now and in later life.
