Early Years Practitioners
Professionals and health visitors
Speech, language and communication skills are vital for all children. Without these skills they will not reach their full potential. Early Years practitioners are crucial to supporting children and identifying when they might be having difficulty. 1 in 10 children have speech, language and communication needs, so all early year’s workers need to understand how to identify and better support these children. If you have concerns about a child’s speech, language or communication, you should use the I CAN Progress Checker and have a chat with the parents or carers to look at how you can best support the child to develop their communication skills. I CAN have a series of FAQs that list useful techniques to use on a daily basis with pre-school children.
