Communication is a central skill for life. It is vital that all those who work with children and young people have the right skills and knowledge to promote speech, language and communication development in children, are able to identify those experiencing difficulties and effectively support children and young people with speech, language or communication needs.
On Communication Help Point we will help you to:
- evaluate your own skills and knowledge
- find ways to develop your skills including relevant training courses
- find answers to questions you have about developing your skills and supporting children's communication
Communication Help Point and the SLCF evaluation tool are part of a one year pilot. Additional content and applications are being developed and expanded throughout 2008.
If this is your first visit to Communication Help Point, the first step is to complete your personal profile. You will then complete a self-evaluation of your skills, which will take between 30-60 minutes for each stage.
