Speech and Language Resources for SEN teachers
Sign up to receive our latest news and blogs!
Developing speech and language skills form a key part of primary education for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
This continues through secondary education too, with SEN teachers able to access a vast pool of resources to help their pupils maximise their potential.
Speech and language play a pivotal role in helping individuals to express themselves, especially for pupils with SEND who may have difficulty communicating.
Why speech and language is so important
Helping to cement some of the basics at a young age during their time in primary education can have a big impact later in life, and even influence their ability to live independently, depending on their situation.
Those with speech or language needs are deemed likely to have difficulties with reading, writing and spelling, which in turn can impact social interactions.
The range of resources available to help SEN teachers also enables them to tailor work and support to meet an individual pupil’s needs, enhancing the potential for better learning outcomes.
Here we’ve highlighted some of the speech and language tools and worksheets that are available, many of which can be downloaded for use in online lessons or printed for classroom activities.
