Following the assessment stage, a plan is put in place to support a child or young person. this will include setting SMART targets (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely).
Once concerns about a child/young person's SLCN have been identified, more detailed assessment is likely to be needed to identify the specific areas of concern and potential barriers to learning.
SLCN is often considered to be a ‘hidden disability’ and some aspects of SLCN are more visible than others – particularly associated with speech and sound.
Class teachers should ensure that they have a good understanding of the child or young person’s developmental history and learning profile and that they have access to any recent assessment information.
Communication is the foundation of all life skills. The development of a child’s communication ability has an impact on their learning, school performance and employment prospects as well as on their emotional wellbeing and behaviour.
