Speech, language and communication needs are highly prevalent in the early years, and it is important to recognise that there are a range of reasons why a child may present with delayed or different styles of communication. Presented by early years SEND specialist, Kerry Murphy, this webinar will introduce you to key concepts of speech and language development and outline why we must always view this in the wider context of inclusive communication. You will be given practical ideas for supporting communication-friendly identities, spaces and practices. You will learn to:

• Define the key concepts in speech, language and communication.
• Understand the different pathways of language delay, difficulty and neurodivergent differences.
• Develop practical ideas for supporting all communication identities, including non-speaking children.
• Consider the benefits of adopting a celebratory approach to all styles of communication.
