Our Speech and Language Therapist is Geraldine Chenevot. Her roles are:
- Work on language and communication skills – this is a focus of the whole school as part of the school's overall specialist provision status. Communication is constant and with everyone in school from students, teaching, admin, and onsite support staff. Any and all situations are an opportunity to model and develop good communication.
- Intervention carried out by the SaLT may be direct at Specialist levels (i.e. Working directly with students in class or withdrawn) or via the Core working collaboratively with school (e.g. training staff, discussion of targets, working with parents/ carers e.g. coffee mornings, student progress day).
- Speech and Language Therapy will be discussed and agreed with the SENDCO, form teacher at the start of each year, this agreement may be updated termly. Communication meetings are held with the class team to discuss implementation of language and communication targets.
These are the programmes offered at SBS:
