Social Communication Difficulties Resource Pack

Devised by members of the Speech and Language Therapy team in Portsmouth city teaching PCT, this advice pack breaks down social communication difficulties into four key areas: Language; Conversation skills; Social skills; and Selecting and organising information. The pack will facilitate identification and assessment of social communication difficulties and provide suggested intervention strategies related to specific areas of communication. A range of photocopiable handouts have been created which address each feature identified. The handouts provide a description of the SCD feature, examples of how this might present in children and then a list of practical suggestions for teaching specific skills. It is an excellent proactical resource.
