Related to the needs of the children <strong>and</strong> young people<br />
‘Being able to communicate is one of the most important<br />
skills that we need in life. Almost everything we do<br />
involves communication, such as learning, asking for food<br />
<strong>and</strong> drink, organising days out, sorting out<br />
problems, making friends <strong>and</strong> having fun’<br />
(in part Makaton.org.uk, 2018)<br />
Some children <strong>and</strong> young people have speech, language <strong>and</strong><br />
communication difficulties which impact on their everyday life. It can lead<br />
to low self-esteem <strong>and</strong> a lack of self confidence <strong>and</strong> can result in poor<br />
behaviour. It can make children <strong>and</strong> young people feel anxious. We aim to<br />
address this <strong>and</strong> help children <strong>and</strong> young people grow <strong>and</strong> flourish.<br />
As part of your specialist training you will access an e-learning module by<br />

<strong>and</strong> young people’s speech, language <strong>and</strong> communication development.<br />

day-to-day basis <strong>and</strong> how to spot children <strong>and</strong> young people who might be<br />
struggling to develop these important skill.<br />
