Supporting Speech, Language & Communication Needs

Written by established and successful authors in this area, this book will provide everything that a teacher dealing with speech and language difficulties needs: practical exercises, information and case studies. 6% of all students are affected, so there is lots of demand for resources in this area.

Both authors have over 20 years experience of delivering courses to teachers, Special Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) and Specialist Outreach teachers in different local authorities, further education colleges and university departments.
