Speech and Language

VillaCroce

Does anyone know of how the money promised by the government on the back of the Bercow Review is being implemented to help children with speech and language difficulties?
I am in a battle to get more SALT provision for my child. The LA where we live is probably better than many but it is still a struggle.
Any comments most welcome.

Hello VillaCroce,

Welcome to the forum! I hope you'll find it helpful and supportive. I can't provide you with an immediate answer to your question, but I will look into this further and hope to come back with a bit more information for you. It would be great to hear others experience and any tips that can be offered...

Hello VillaCroce,

I am still making some enquiries for you, but a colleague has suggested a couple of websites where you might find some further information in the meantime. Firstly, the DCSF website http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/pns/DisplayPN.cgi?pn_id=2008_0141 gives some further information about Every Child A Talker.
You might also want to try AFASIC - www.afasic.org.uk and ICAN www.ican.org.uk

I hope that this will prove to be helpful. Best wishes, Lucy
