What you will gain from the program

The combination of hearing and seeing speech pathology in action is a more effective way of helping staff to identify children who may be presenting with communication difficulties and implement the strategies to support children’s speech and language skills on the ground.

We also provide practical demonstrations and coaching for staff in the convenience of the classroom. 

The practical coaching day/s include 1:1 training / demonstration to centre staff regarding:

  • Identification of typical speech and language development vs. delayed speech and language skills
  • Identification of when and how to engage children in conversation in structured and free play activities
  • Application of language / communication support strategies in ‘real – life’ preschool / child care situations as discussed during the presentation

All staff attending the course are presented with attendance certificates on completion of the two days.
