Supporting Children with Speech and Language Impairment and Associated Difficulties : Suggestions for Supporting the Development of Language, Listening

Children with SLI are a challenging yet stimulating group to work with. To be successful in teaching them you need enthusiasm, patience, flexibility and a large bank of ideas. This book offers information, guidance and examples of good practice to teachers, learning assistants and parents. Included is a motor skills programme, rhymes for speech production and memory work, and a photocopiable word bank. This second edition is fully updated throughout and includes new terminology, as well as links to further resources on Assessment and Individual Education Plans (IEP). There is a new chapter which has a bank of IEP targets, resources that have proven invaluable to teachers and teaching assistants, where in other books only a blank IEP form is often provided.
