Communication and language continue to be a significant focus in early years. These skills make a fundamental contribution in supporting all aspects of learning. But how can we tell if children are struggling in this area? Amidst the backdrop of numerous lockdowns and the introduction of the revised EYFS in England, there are more concerns than ever that children’s speech and language needs may be slipping through the net.

Join trainer, consultant and speech and language therapist, Kate Freeman, in this in-depth discussion of the identification of speech and language delays, screening tools and what to do if you have concerns about a child’s communication needs.

This webinar is appropriate for early years practitioners working with children aged 0-5 years.
