Speech and Language Therapy

Kyra, Nicola and Emma are our Speech and Language teaching assistants here at Springwell School. They all work under the guidance of NHS SALT and the class teachers.

Your child can be referred to the NHS SALT by school following a discussion with your child's class teacher.

What do we do?

• Work closely with classroom staff and other support staff across school.

• Speech and Language support – direct support in a 1:1 or group setting, indirect support through classroom staff to work towards SALT targets.

• Therapy goals are identified through SALT assessment and can be linked to your child’s IEP by the class teacher.

Communication with parents/carers

• Please phone school or come and visit us if you have any questions about your child’s speech, language and communication.

Communication with other professionals

• Our school team liaise with other professionals that may be working with your child e.g. NHS SALT, OT, physiotherapy, educational psychology.

• All SALTA's will share information with classroom staff and will contribute to your child's EHCP Plan review.
