Description
Delivered by Bolton Early Years Communication and Language Development Service (a team of Speech and Language Therapists and Early Language Development Specialists)
The WellComm Speech and Language Toolkit has been funded for all schools. As part of a COVID-19 recovery plan, we want to support schools to maximise the usage of this valuable resource as it can also be used with Year One children. The WellComm screening tool and intervention activities can be incorporated into Year One practice and also be used in schools who use the Nuffield (Neli) programme in Reception.
This interactive, virtual session is based around the WellComm Speech and Language Toolkit and the Integrated Communication and Language Pathway. It is designed to develop practitioners’ skills and confidence in supporting children aged 6 months to 6 years, who are at risk of developing speech, language and communication difficulties. This session will involve sharing good practice, participating in discussions and reflecting on your own practice.
To participate fully in this session, it is essential you have a copy of the WellComm Toolkit to refer to during this training. The WellComm Toolkit resource will be made available to settings that do not already have a copy according to Bolton Start Well records. If you do not have a copy in your school/setting, please contact Start Well by telephone: 01204 338149 or email: StartWellBookings@bolton.gov.uk to make arrangement to collect a copy from Harvey Start Well Centre.
Prior to the session, attendees will receive an in-depth pre-recorded training video which will be available to watch which focuses on practical use of the toolkit.
