Speech, language and communication skills are important in helping a child to connect with others and learn about the world around them. 

At Support 2 Talk the focus is on supporting children to communicate to the best of their ability.

Speech, Language, and Communication needs

How many children does it effect?

One in every ten children has a speech, language or communication difficulty.  On average 2 children out of every class of 30 will have a speech and language impairment as their primary area of need.  It's the most common childhood disability.

The impact of speech and language needs

Children and young people with speech and language difficulties are at increased risk of struggling with literacy and learning.  It can also impact on social relationships and self-esteem.

Identification of need

Identifying speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in children can be challenging as there are often many aspects of a child's development to take into account. However, seeking advice and getting the right level of support in place as early as possible can make a big difference. 

Should I be concerned about my child?

Knowing what is typically expected at different ages and stages as a child develops can help in deciding whether to seek further advice from a speech and language therapist.

The Ages and Stages Guide published by Speech and Language UK provides further advice on this.
