Step 1 Speech and Language Support for 5-11s © Elklan Training Ltd4 What is communication? ListeningUnderstandingTalkingInteraction

Quantitative data from implementation of Step 1 © Elklan Training Ltd5 74% Strategies considered effective or very effective by TA’s 85% Of TA’s now feel confident or extremely confident in supporting children with SLCN

Qualitative data This course has made me aware of how supremely powerful language is to both involve and exclude people and has shown me how fine alteration to syntax and vocabulary can make what I want to teach accessible to more children. I suppose that is what I have really learned- that to teach children with SAL difficulties you have to change your approach, but these changes actually benefit all the children in your care by removing many barriers to understanding and allowing the pupils to concentrate on content. This is inclusion for all. Susan Davies, Wigan © Elklan Training Ltd

Qualitative data ‘ The Elklan course has really made an impact on how I teach on a daily basis. I now find myself naturally using these new strategies and skills which is fantastic. I and others have already noticed a definite improvement in one particular child’s development using these new found skills which is very rewarding. I also believe I have developed a better understanding of why some children behave disruptively and have poor social skills which may be due to the fact they have limited language and communication skills. Having a better knowledge of speech and language difficulties has helped me spot other children who may potentially need extra help or support with their language and communication skills.’ Cheryl Pettier, Southend. Teaching assistant. © Elklan Training Ltd

Step 1 - outcomes Two highly trained TA’s who with their new expertise can….. –Support the teachers in the delivery of Communication Counts (Step3) –Be a resource to all staff in the school regarding SLCN –Raise the profile of SLCN in the school –Support specific children –Support all children's communication development © Elklan Training Ltd

‘The course has been well run, the knowledge and enthusiasm of the course leader has improved my own knowledge and confidence. Staff regularly come to me for advice and I feel confident to support them.’ Gemma Hans, Salford’ ‘The course was fantastic and I now feel confident in supporting all staff in the different areas covered by the course. The materials greatly supported this.’ Rhiann Glover Bolton © Elklan Training Ltd12 Qualitative data

‘I have found the course extremely useful and thought provoking. I especially benefited from the opportunity to engage with others in professional dialogue, and to share in presentations from different schools and therefore different perspectives. Also useful was the time spent practising the strategies with colleagues. With the support of the course leaders and peers, it was very beneficial to practise the skills ourselves. I struggle to add any suggestions to make the course more effective. Lesley Cooper, Bolton © Elklan Training Ltd13
