This practical guide equips teachers, educators, and speech and language therapists who work across the age phases with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to fully meet the speech, language, and communication (SLC) needs of children and young people (CYP). As SLC challenges are increasing among pupils, this book links theory to practical aspects of pedagogy, guiding readers to consider how to support the CYP they work with in educational settings. It champions a collaborative approach to supporting conditions such as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), Autism, and others, and considers the reasonable adjustments that can be implemented to support all pupils (a ‘universal’ approach). Written by a multi-disciplinary team, it embraces sociological, educational, and medical perspectives, encouraging critical thinking and offering a range of case studies that illustrate key strategies and real-world applications, as well as signposting practical resources and sources of further support.
