Firstly, as this is our first post of 2017, I feel I must say Happy New Year!
I have been scrolling through the latest online resources and have come across some fab stuff to share with you all!
Afasic have produced some new documents with a professional focus, which can be found by clicking here.
There’s a free download on this page to an example of a sheet produced by the children of Hetton School, which gives some great advice for teachers on how to support them in the classroom. It provides a template for you to make your own in your school. They have called it ‘Speech and Language difficulties and how teachers can help in the classroom’.
Scroll down on this Afasic page, there’s lots more useful articles to browse through, including a powerpoint presentation about visual support for children with autism, a leaflet running through the statement process & tips for parents, and a presentation about selective mutism.
I’ll share some more of my findings in my next post!
