Developing Speech and Language Skills : A Resource Book for Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Speech and Language Therapists

This book is part of the Phoneme Factory Project undertaken by Granada Learning in partnership with the Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit (SLTRU) in Bristol.

It aims to provide guidance for teachers, SENCos, SLTs and parents regarding:

• criteria for referral to speech and language therapy
• phonological disorders
• appropriate intervention approaches that can be used in the classroom and at home.

Complementing the book are downloadable resources including a picture library for the classroom and the home, as well as checklists and other time-saving documents.
